Preparation :
2
Cut and clean the crabs thoroughly , if you are using live crabs I have already demonstrated in my previous recipe how to cut and clean live crabs. I would highly recommend that you get the people at your fish market to remove the claws at least , as this can be a bit tricky as they might try to claw you.

In a bowl, add the ingredients for marination, next slide in the crab pieces, mix well. Keep marinated for 15 -20 minutes in the refrigerator.
4
In a blender, make a paste of onion and tomatoes separately.

About
"Chicken kosha ", a bengali specialty curry is one of my party favorites . Generally I make this dish with chicken/mutton , but I was dying to try this recipe with crab for a long time . If you do not want to use crab , try this recipe using chicken . It's better not to try this dish with any other fish as it needs a lot of stirring and the fish might break into pieces .
