MASALA COCONUTY CRAB CANAPÉS

by Zars Kitchen Admin

the Christmas canapés just keep coming!  I think this is one of my best recipe creations yet! I am ecstatic with how these little bites turned out… SO UTTERLY SCRUMPTIOUS!!! 

I had some gorgeous Cornish white crabmeat left from my @steinsathome delivery which I mixed into the most addictive coconuty curry sauce.

The sauce here is special… made with a ton of curry leaves, then mustard seeds and cumin seeds mixed with chillis and spices, as well as fresh chopped tomatoes and finished with coconut milk that balances out all the flavours.  I served them in crispy puris for some crunch and they were insanely delicious!!  

Would love to know in the comments if you try these… X
