Coconut Oil - 2 tbsp
Onion - 1 medium; sliced finely
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Tamarind - lime sized ball in 1/2 cup hot water
Salt - To taste
Coriander leaves - To garnish
For the masala ( roast and grind)
Freshly grated coconut - 1 cup
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp

Kashmiri chilies - 9 to 10 nos ( deseed 5 chilies for less spicy)
Peppercorns - 10 nos
Cloves - 6 nos
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Notes :
1. Roast the coconut, onion, chilies, and whole spices carefully, and do not burn them.
2. Once crabs are added to the pot cook for just 2 to 3 minutes and follow by adding the masala
3. The longer the crabs cook in the masala the more flavourful the Xec Xec will be
4. Take care not to cook for longer than the stated time as the crab meat is very soft and might get too mushy in the gravy.
