Crab roast recipe, how to make Kerala style nadan njandu roast.
Crab roast, is an easy and spicy dry crab roast with kudampuli and is best served with rice; if you like to have little gravy, you can add in half a cup of thick coconut milk.
There are no tomatoes in this recipe since kudampuli is used, though you can substitute with tomatoes (which should be added while cooking the crab) the authentic nadan taste will not be there.
My son loves crab in any form and when I am not in a mood for an elaborate cooking; I make this easy crab roast for him. The kudampuli and the roasting gives it a nice dark colour.
