- One does not simply visit Tobago without enjoying some Curry Crab and Dumplings:
Yield: 5 Portions
INGREDIENTS
To Clean Crabs:
7- 8 Whole Crabs, cleaned
Water
3 Tbsp Lime Juice
2 Tbsp Baking Powder
To Season Crabs:
(Cleaned & Washed Crabs)
2 Tsp Salt
1 ½ Tsp Black Pepper
1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
1/3 Cup Green Seasoning
1 Tbsp Chief Brand Curry
1 Tbsp Chief Brand Garam Masala
For The Curry:
3 Tbsp of Coconut Oil
¼ Tsp of Whole Geera Seeds (Cumin Seeds)
4 Carapoulay Leaves (Curry Leaves)
3 Tbsp of Chopped Onions
1 Tbsp of Chopped Garlic
2 Tbsp of Minced Celery
1 Tsp of Minced Ginger
1 Tbsp of Minced Pimento Pepper/Jalapenos
2 Tbsp of Curry Powder
1 Tbsp of Turmeric Powder
2 Tsp of Geera Powder (Cumin)
1 Tsp of Garam Masala
4 ¾ Cups of Water
2 Oz/50 Grams Coconut Powder
3 Tbsp of Chopped Scallions
1 Tbsp Minced Chadon Beni
¼ Cup of Diced Tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste
For The Dumplings:
2 Cups Flour
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
Water
METHOD
1. Break crabs in halves or quarters depending on the size. Remove any gills. Place crabs into a bowl of water and with a toothbrush; scrub the legs, shells and claws of the crabs paying close attention to remove any dirt or sand that may be present between the crevices of the joints. If there are any fine hairs on the legs, use the back of a paring knife to scrape them away. Wash thoroughly and place crabs back into a bowl. Fill the bowl with water and add the lime juice and baking powder. Mix and allow crabs to sit in this acidulated water to rid of any freshness or smell for about 15 minutes. Rinse crabs and discard water.
2. Using a mallet or heavy object, gently crack the claws of the crab to allow the seasonings to permeate and sauces to get into the shell. Take crabs and season, by adding the salt, black pepper, garlic, green seasoning and both the curry and garam masala powders. Mix well and toss crabs in seasonings to allow it to coat evenly. Let marinate in chiller for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 3 hours.
3. Make dumpling dough by adding flour into a medium bowl together with salt and sugar. Mix well adding little water at a time and kneading until a stiff but semi pliable dough forms. Cover and let rest for five minutes. Place a medium high sided sauce pan on high heat and fill half with water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, roll out the dumpling dough to 1/8 of an inch in thickness. Using a cookie cutter or freehand, cut dumplings into 3 inch circles. To the boiling water, add a tsp of salt and insert about 6 - 7 dumplings at a time to boil. Cook for about 5 minutes or until they float to the top. Place cooked dumplings into a clean bowl and drizzle a little vegetable oil over them to prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
4. place a medium iron pot or sauce pan over high heat. Drizzle in the coconut oil and add geera seeds and carapoulay leaves in. Toast for few seconds then add aromatics; onions, garlic, celery, ginger and pimentos. Sauté for 1 minute then add your spices; curry, turmeric, geera and garam massala. Mix and stir well allowing the spices to cook for about 2 minute in the pot over the high heat.
5. Add ¾ cup of the water and cook this curry paste for 3 minutes covered on medium heat.
6. Add the seasoned crabs to the pot. Stir and toss crabs to allow the curry paste to coat it. Cover and let cook for 5 minutes until the shells of the crab turn a bright orange color.
7. Meanwhile mix the coconut powder with the remaining 4 cups of water. Remove cover after five minutes and add this coconut milk mixture. Mix well ensuring to scrape the bottom of the pot with pot spoon to remove any caramelized bits.
8. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes, still on medium heat.
9. Remove cover and add the boiled dumplings to the curried crabs. Add the chopped scallions, chadon beni and tomatoes. Stir well to allow all the ingredients to amalgamate.
10. Taste sauce and adjust flavor if needed with salt, black pepper or even minced raw pepper if a spicy kick is desired.
11. Cook for an additional 3 minutes then remove pot from heat. Let curry crabs rest for a few minutes before eating to allow flavors to settle and enjoy.

Yesssssssss Foodie Nation, this is by far your best video, thanks for sharing, i will most definitely try this recipe.
Bless Chic 🔥
Kezzi has certainly grown over time. She got more confidence in the kitchen and their personalities makes a perfect duo in this channel
Kathryn Rambharose agreed!
Ok, as a born Tobagonian, I checked in with my mom who turns 88 today and still lives in Tobago. and I'm sharing some fun facts from her, on seeing this video: When cooking crabs in Tobago, the ends of the claws would be cut off (for hygiene reasons); those spices-curry, geera, massala etc were never used. In fact they were not available in Tobago. The dish is called crab and dumpling, not curry crab and dumpling. The crabs were blue crab, which were widespread on the island and not lagoon crabs. They were washed with young lime buds, and not seasoned. That was added later to the pot. The gravy was made with the eggs of the crabs, and coconut milk.Dumplings were boiled separately. I enjoyed the video though and I think my mom secretly did as well..lol
Interesting take on the recipe, would love to try it.
Coconut milk!!! Yes. That would definitely take this recipe to another level.
Thank you, thank you. My first time to Tobago I was told I must taste this, they didn’t have to ask me twice, I’ll never forget being on the beach of Tobago eating this, thinking this life is perfect and I’m so blessed. I’m a great cook and mimic many things I taste from around the world, BUT there’s those few dishes so good, perfect, and culturally based I don’t even try to mimic unless I have an exact step by step instructions...... but with farther thought, there no beach here like Tobago, so I’m coming back for more!!!
I love the way you guys cook together, I’m in Canada but you take me right back home in Trinidad every time. 🙏🏽❤️keep on doing why you do best. 😊
Yall are a great great pair, keep up the wonderful work that yall do and I always look forward to the many many recipes that is to come 🙂

I love that you guys have put a camera on top of the food to show the cooking. So informative and useful. Thank you!
Do you use cassava flour, thanks.
Omg!! I'm from New Mexico. I wish I could live in Trinidad and Tobago. I love crab, curry and dumplings. I wish I could try this dish!!!
Good morning according to Kezz, granny's are the best. My grandmother and I used to catch the crabs under the cocoa trees when the rain fell. Curry crab with coconut, cassava and cornmeal dumplings .They're all very nice.
We actually do a coconut and cassava mix dumplings!they are absolutely delicious
That sounds good

My favourite food show to watch! After watching this I actually made dumplings for the first time ..I really dislike the feel of flour on my hands! But the instrustions were really good! 😊 one of my fav episodes. I really like both their personalities.
First time cooking crab this weekend. I tried crab in calalloo (with the help of my dad) on Friday and I tried this curry crab recipe. I followed the vid, I even tweaked it a bit and OMG. Curry crab is officially on my "I can cook" list. Loved it
Yummmm! Here in Bermuda,unfortunately, we do not get fresh crab as there are no rivers but cooked huge king crabs are available in the supermarkets. I remember my summer vacations at Mayaro, my dad going on crab hunts at night and my mom preparing a large pot of tasty curry crab!!!! Would love if you could prepare stuffed crab backs. Nowhere else does it taste as good as Trinidad!,, ❤️. Thanks.
Great memories!
Very helpful video and info from Chef Jason

Ooooh, that toggle with the view into the pot is money. Love that! SO helpful!
I looked at a few other videos to cook this dish as my first time and yours is the best ✨ 😍👍
I had same at Store Bay while visiting Tobago, soooo delicious
I love crab. I will surely hav to try dis...but im still waiting on my peas and beans recipes.
I must say this recipes was a hit ☺️ I love it
Curry crab has deteriorated in Tobago over the years...definitely don't eat at store bay. Get recommendations from a local.
Absolutely..I was wondering why they recommended it. Ask locals first for sure.
So true 😟it's like crazy expensive and don't taste good
Mmm looks delicious.
Love looking at you both tip to you guys pass the crab on open flames to get rid of hair . Thats my trick
Good instructions and combination
Oh yessss. Going to try it.
I’m subscribing and this is on my list of dishes to make
brenda young it delicious!
You missed a little vinegar in the lime, and baking soda concoction for washing the crab. Being a Tobago girl, I must say, you guys did a spectacular job, I wish I could taste it🥴 And, Yes, we absolutely do make cornmeal dumplings but they are a bit of an acquired taste when paired with crabs. Even though I don’t like plain flour dumplings, I love them with crab.
I can watch the two of you all day
Foooooodie!!! I tried this recipe with snow crabs today. Im trying to find a way to upload to you guys.
Kezzianne and Chef Jason Peru I'm so happy you'll made this video cause I definitely LOVE curry crab and dumpling. Always putting out great recipes as always. How about some king fish or snapper recipes...

If I could've like this video a million times I would love crab
Great video, I remember when my Mom and brothers will make curry carib and dumplings. I don't eat but great dish .👍💕💕 .
Marva kent it is!
Most old school Tobagonians use fresh coconut milk in their curry crab and a few more secret ingredients . We aren't fans of that mangrove/spider crabs in our dishes only the blue crabs.
Yeah I was confused as to why he used mud crabs because I know he could have gotten blue crab. 😔
I happen to love hairy crabs 🦀🦀
To remove hair the crab can be held over open flames or a quick toss in hot water then scrape with the knife.
Great Food
I followed the recipe with a little tweeting......it was fabulous 👍🏿❤️
Amazing video. Can you guys do clams and fry shark.
