Ingredients list for Thambi Odai Nanda Kuttu

Prepare the crabs by removing the shell and the gill. Break off the large claws, then remove the small legs and scrape away any hair with a knife. Wash thoroughly and divide each body into quarters.
Heat oil in a kadai, add cumin seeds. When they begin to change colour add onion and fry till transluscent. Remove from heat and add turmeric powder and red chilli powder.
Return to heat, add tomato puree and cook for few minutes. Add the prepared crabs, green chilli, garlic, salt and tomato. Lower the heat and cover the pan. Cook for two to three minutes, then stir in tamarind pulp.
Cook gently for fifteen to twenty minutes. Remove heat and serve hot garnished with spring onion and coriander leaves.
