Goan Crab Masala

Crab Masala is a delicious, spicy Goan-style crab preparation. The state of Goa has a rich heritage passed down from their Colonial rulers, the Portuguese. In this dish, crabs are cooked in a spicy curry made from onion and tomato and combined with coconut to finish it off. It is usually served with rice, rotis, or bread.
