Thank you very much on the demo on how to clean crabs. It was very informative – step by step illustration.
Your most welcome and Thank you ninfa 😊
Thank you for this informative post. We love eating crabs, now I know how to clean it. Next will try to cook it.
Thanks Louise, glad to know that this post is getting useful to at least a few out here 🙂 Do try out stuffed crab recipe 🙂
Hi Xanti… you take great efforts in making your recipes and processes simplified. Thank you for that.
A visit to Martin’s in Betalbatim is a must for me and my family on every visit of ours to Goa. I do a lot of cooking in my free time and have been attempting to make their signature dish- Mud Crab Rechaed at home. Unfortunately it lacks that punch somewhere as compared to their’s. I’ve tried using Goan Vinegar, Kancon chillies, palm jaggery for caramelisation etc.
I would be grateful if could you possibly provide a recipe and a process to match their dish?
Hi Richard …
Well , that’s my favorite spot too ! I love their food … in Goa , I live close to Martin’s corner 😊
Well , almost all their masalas are prepared by their mom Carafina , and it’s their signature dish … I don’t know how they prepare the dish …not very sure on that
Santi was searching for sukha goan style and got it. Also learnt how to clean crabs. Thanks. Enjoy your recipes.
Thanks 🙏
