Curried MANGROVE CRABS (Mud Crabs) & Dumplings (Cleaning Included)

- Curried Crab and Dumplings (Crab and Dumplin') is a signature Tobagonian dish fusing our Indian and African heritages. The crabs are locally caught from the mangroves and sold in bundles. Today, I bought 3 bundles (12 crabs) for $180 TTD.
Daniel & Seeta, the crab vendors, killed and cut up the crabs for me to take home for our dish today. Find them at Exchange Road in Couva #SupportLocal
INGREDIENTS
*12 Mangrove Crabs- cleaned and washed with baking soda + lime juice + warm water. Crack the gundies (claws) before seasoning.
*Green Seasoning- 20 cloves of garlic, 1/2 scorpion pepper (optional), hot peppers, 8-10 bandhania/chadon beni/culantro leaves, 5 pimento/seasoning peppers.
*Spice Mixture- 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 2 teaspoons black amchar massala + 2 teaspoons roasted ground geera + 1 teaspoon turmeric powder.
(Use less or more depending on your preference) + 1/4 cup of water.
*1 tablespoon of oil + 1 onion + 6 cloves of garlic, minced + hot peppers + pimento peppers + curry leaves + 1 teaspoon mathee (fenugreek) seeds + sprig of thyme.
*Salt (your preference).
*8-10 bandhania/chadon beni/culantro leaves + 5 stalks of chive/scallion.
*Dumpling dough- 5 1/2 cups of flour + 2 cups of coconut milk (or 1 pack of coconut milk powder dissolved in 2 cups of water) + 1 tablespoon of salt + 1 1/2 tablespoon of sugar + extra water to make a smooth dough.

OMG one of my fav Tobago/Trini dish. Takes me back to my summer vacation days in Tobago when my oldest brother (Tobagogian) used to take us to Saturday night "Sunday School" aka PARTY till about 11:30 am on Sunday, and the main dish served would be curry crabs and dumplings. My oh my the taste was out of this world.
Reshmi I am so happy you posted this delicious version of curry crabs and dumplings. The colour-scape you used is dynamic and appealing.
Bananna leaf lovely backdrop, and banana leaf with crushed up crab shells priceless and hilarious. đșđșđșđŽđ đ
đ âđđąđŁ I am coming to get some. đđ
Oh wow aunty! Such lovely memories! Come through for your share of crab đ
Oh my gosh resh d soharie leaf was epic yummy crab and dumplings thanks doll đđđđ
Hey! Thanks for watching! It was placed on a fig leaf. I don't place meat on sohari leaf because of its religious significance.
Oh ok resh sorry I thought it was soharie leaf
Curried crab, just what we need for our green crabs! The cleaning of the crabs was done so skillfully and you took such great care in making sure they were well prepared ready for the pot. The final meal with those dumplings looked amazing! xx
I don't eat crab but enjoyed this video. The presentation was on point and the steel pan intro and outtro was beautiful. It reminded me of Trinidad and Tobago gone by. Great job!
Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate your comment â€
That crab is clean as a whistle. I have stopped looking at anyone else's channel for food.
It took an hour and 45 minutes to clean lol but it was well worth it
Enjoyed your curry dumpling crab I now live in Toronto but you bring back sweet memories of catching buck crab on the seashore in Guyana. my mom cooked it with thick leaf baggie and coconut milk and curry power.they said you have to keep crab in water otherwise the meat disappear.well your cooking is making me hungry in Toronto.bye

Great video Reshmi..lots of work cleaning those guys but I am sure it was worth it..
Thanks! It was well worth it đ
Wow
Very nice
So beautiful
Girl you did an awesome job ..that's exactly how I cleaned and wash my crabs..coconut milk would have given the dish a great flavor as well as mention .but it good as is too ...thanks for sharing ...
Delicious
WOW....ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC AND DELICIOUS
Hmmm lovely dish. Mouth watering here. đ€€đ€€ I love crab â€ïž
Could eat a whole pot. đđđđ
Thank you! Same here!
Crab Fat have plenty flavour. The gills are good flavour in a stew or soup too. Now Mangrove Crab might be a whole other story. My grandmother was from the Lopinot / Caura area. Fantastic local chef. She always used the crab fat. They call it Crab Mustard in N America. Some places in Asia especially in the Philippines, they bottle and sell it as a condiment to cook with. If you serve crab in Asia and the crab fat is gone, people would get real vex. Not sure why some Trinis discard it. The stuff behind the crab's eyes is not from its organs.
đđđđnice size crabs too
Yes aunty! Big gundies đ
Nice one as always Reshmi #yummy
Thanks Sheraz!
@@TasteofTrini next time call me Outlikewetcoals
Yum Yum Yum! đđđđđđœ
Yes aunty đ
Great video, Reshmi! I love that you made a lot of sauce with the Curry Crab and Dumplings which I love to just eat spoonfuls of. But...You have to tell me something...Please tell me that they didn't throw away the crab backs when they cleaned them? The crab fat is one of the sweetest parts of the crab. :) :) :) XOXOXO
Thank you, aunty! Yes, the sauce thickened when it cooled and it was so yummy. They did throw it away. The butter is a delicacy in most places but not in Trinidad lol I haven't seen many people eating it.
Girl, u have my mouthwatering đ
đđ I had some for you!
@@TasteofTrini Oh Thank You!!!
Presentation was amazing. Looks very delicious too. Just take out yours and I'll sit with the pot . đđ. Thanks Miss Gorgeous. Well done.

Hey, do you have a recipe for dumplings with either coconut flour or almond flour?
Dumpling with almond flour or coconut flourđđđđ...... I've never heard of any dumpling being made like that.....
If u want maybe cassava flour will work or half cassava flour and half AP flour

I really enjoy your vlog buying crab , cleaning , washing , and seasoning the crab , also making crab and dumpling , looks yummy .
Thank you!
Reshmi an old lady told me fish water ( the water used when I wash my fish) throw it in my plant and it will make it grow and I saw the progress my.pepper plant that I threw the water in was 6 times bigger than the other plants that didnt get water. So I totally understand
Nice! I guess that's why it started to grow so quickly
True my mother in law told me too and the pepper was even hotter
Nice l cook my crab same way too
Beautiful, That how Guyanese been cooking crabs since the days we came from India .
Facts
Hi next time use Spanish thyme to soak the crab and wash it it keeps the flavor of the crab and also clean it better an old couple told my husband and that is how we wash out crab.
This recipe looks delicious đ am surely gonna try it this way lots of spices very good job đ love đ it yum yum keep it coming good job thank you đ

I donât understand this curry crabs, I am a Trinidadian somebody help me understand it I miss itđ€
An old toothbrush that someone used to brush his/her teeth? Isn't that unsanitary?
Yes definitely. Of course not one that's used already. I buy the ones from the dollar store for scrubbing crab or I use a vegetable brush as seen in the video.
@@TasteofTrini Thanks for clarifying.
you cooked Sebastian :O dumpling is like wet roti :/
