I love crabs! Their sweet delicate meat is scrumptious! I love crabs in all forms but this is definitely one of my favorite way to cook it! Here is Mummy’s recipe for rava (semolina) fried crabs. The semolina gives it an extra layer of crispness.
What you will need:

| Oil | 3 tablespoons |
| Rava | 1/3 cups |
| Red Chili Powder | 1 teaspoon |

| Turmeric Powder | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Water | 1 tablespoon |
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes

How to make it:
- Clean the crabs and set aside. Remove the claws since these take time to cook. Cut the crabs into halves.

- Apply this paste to the crabs and set aside for a ten minutes.
- Roll the crabs in rava/ semolina.
