Crab curry, called caril de caranguejo in Portuguese, is a typical Indian seafood dish that the Portuguese later took into their own cooking, giving the Indo-Portuguese versions of Goa, Daman and Diu on the west coast of India, a region once part of the Portuguese State of India. It is also a typical dish of Mozambique because of the large Goan population there. The curry is made with crab, traditionally plentiful off the Goan coast, together with onion, tomato, piri piri chilli, garlic, grated coconut and spices that give a yellow sauce. The grated coconut is used to extract milk, the crab is cut into pieces or shredded and boiled with most of the other ingredients, and the coconut milk goes in near the end for about half an hour of boiling. It is usually eaten with white rice, which may come with pickle and papadums. The chef Jamie Oliver publishes a version that takes about 35 minutes.
