Curried Crab and Dumplings

Curried crab and dumplings is a traditional dish originating from Trinidad and Tobago. The crabs are cleaned, soaked in lime water, then drained. They are then seasoned with celery, pimento peppers, onions, garlic, and chives. After the crabs have been marinated, they are placed in a pot with curry powder paste, coconut milk, and hot peppers.


The dumplings are made with a combination of flour, grated cassava, sugar, salt, and water. They are also added to the pot with the crab, simmering until the sauce thickens. Once prepared, curried crab and dumplings are served in the same bowl with lots of sauce.


It's recommended to garnish the dish with cilantro and lime.
