5. Now add the tamarind juice, chilly powder, corriander powder, turmeric powder, salt, asafoetida along with the ground masala and bring it to a boil. Add water if you want more gravy.
6. Add the crab pieces, cover and cook for 10 minutes on low-medium flame. The crab is done when it turns red in colour.
7. Garnish with fresh curry leaves, cilantro and split green chilly and serve hot. Tips - If you want a thick gravy, do not add extra water. Keep the flame on medium high and let the gravy cook till most of the water evaporates.
