CRAB CURRY WITH COCONUT MILK


Crab curry ….tempered with moringa leaves is

irresistible!

Tops my favourite in seafood list.The aroma it

creates when it is cooking is really excellent.

Finger licking curry…also has health benefits.

A crab soup is a good cure for cold ,and for

treating long settled phlegm .
