Kerala Style Crab Curry | Authentic Nadan ഞണ്ട് കറി 🦀 (Njandu Curry) 😋✨️

Welcome back to the channel! Today, I'm sharing a very special, authentic Kerala-style Crab Curry (Nadan Njandu Curry) cooked the traditional way in a Manchatti (clay pot). By boiling the crab first to create an incredibly flavorful stock and finishing it with aromatic freshly ground fennel seeds, this recipe brings out the absolute best flavor. It's simple, rustic, and packed with traditional taste. ✨ INGREDIENTS: • Cleaned Crab • Sliced Onions & Shallots • Ginger, Garlic & Green Chilies • Mustard seeds & Curry leaves • Coconut Oil (or cooking oil) • Chili Powder (2 small spoons) • Coriander Powder (1small spoon) • Pepper Powder (1 small spoon + a pinch for the end) • Turmeric Powder & Salt • 1 piece Nadan Kudampuli (soaked in water) • 1 Tomato (chopped) • Garam Masala (1 small spoon) • Freshly ground Fennel Seeds (Perinjirakam) 👩‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP RECIPE: 1. In a Manchatti (clay pot), add the cleaned crab, water, pepper powder, chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Cover and let it boil to create a rich crab stock. 2. In a separate frying pan, heat oil and temper mustard seeds and curry leaves. 3. Add the ginger, garlic, shallots, onions, and green chilies. Sauté until everything turns a beautiful golden brown color. 4. Turn down the heat and add 2 small spoons of chili powder, 1 small spoon of coriander powder, pepper powder, turmeric, and salt. Mix well. 5. Add the soaked nadan kudampuli along with its soaking water, and add 1 chopped tomato. Sauté until the tomatoes get soft. 6. Pour the prepared crab stock from the manchatti into the pan, add the boiled crab pieces, and bring it to a boil. 7. Finish it off by sprinkling freshly ground fennel seeds, a pinch of pepper powder, and a small spoon of garam masala.
