Curried MANGROVE CRABS (Mud Crabs) & Dumplings (Cleaning Included)

Curried Crab and Dumplings (Crab and Dumplin') is a signature Tobagonian dish fusing our Indian and African heritages. The crabs are locally caught from the mangroves and sold in bundles. Today, I bought 3 bundles (12 crabs) for $180 TTD.
Daniel & Seeta, the crab vendors, killed and cut up the crabs for me to take home for our dish today. Find them at Exchange Road in Couva #SupportLocal
