Recipe: Crab Curry with Eggplant
I like eggplant, especially Asian eggplant for its thin skin and delicate flavor. And whenever I make curry dishes I tend to throw in one or two eggplants. They pair very well with crab or fish.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs crab (Frozen Madagascar Crab from the Indian Ocean was used in this recipe), cut into big parts
- 2 eggplants cut lengthwise into thin slices (preferably Asian eggplant)
- 4 fresh whole tomatoes, chopped
- 3 medium size onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp curry powder (see recipe for curry powder)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a heavy bottom pan over medium heat, fry the eggplants in some vegetable oil. Reserve.
- Fry the onions in some vegetable oil.
- Add the garlic, curry powder and tomatoes. Cook until a paste consistency.
- Add the crab to the sauce and add 2 cups of water. Cook until the crab is done.
- Add the eggplant and remove from heat.
- Garnish with fresh coriander (optional)
- Serve with rice.
