Garnish and serve
Use a store-bought Malvani or fish curry masala paste to skip the roasting and grinding step.
Reduce the oil to 2 tablespoons and use fresh coconut instead of dry for a lighter gravy.
Use frozen crabs if fresh ones are expensive or unavailable. Ensure they are thawed properly before cooking.
To make it milder, reduce red chili powder to 1/2 tsp, omit black peppercorns, and add 1/2 cup of coconut milk at the end for a creamier, less spicy gravy.
