Curried Chile Crab image

Fresh crab is stir-fried with garlic, ginger, and plenty of fresh chiles, then combined with curry powder and coconut milk for lots of flavor. Smallish crabs such as blue swimmers are good for this but you can use any fresh crabs you find at the market.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The crab was mushy, and the curry sauce was watery.

This dish was okay. The crab was a bit overcooked, and the curry sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste.
