- Pull out body sections from shells, remove finger-shaped gills and discard. Cut body sections in half with a large sharp knife or cleaver and use a skewer to remove all the white stomach sac behind each head and any green colored matter and discard. Scrape out creamy brown meat from shells and add to white meat. Use a heavy weight to tap round underside of shells and break round natural dark line, discarding the broken bits of shells. Wash main shells and set aside.
- Heat oil in large frying pan, add onion and fry, stirring frequently, for about 8 minutes or until soft and golden. Add garlic and ginger and fry for 1 minute. Stir in tomato, chilies, coconut, almond Masala, coconut milk and reserved crab meat. Add crab claws and simmer, covered, for 6-8 minutes, until heated through. Spoon the mixture into crab shells and serve hot.
