GHANAIAN BLUE CRAB CURRY RECIPE

All I could think of were the dishes I wanted to cook, when the Captain announced we’ve arrived at Accra Kotoka International Airport. 

The usual heat that embraces everyone when they get off the plane kissed my face. I run into the arms of my Mum and cousin as we chatted and drove home.

The next morning I was greeted by the crow of the neighbours Cockerel as I stretched and walked lazily into my Mums room. I decided to make Mum breakfast and settled on a savoury and spicy French toast. 

We planned our day which included visiting the Market for fresh groceries and I had to grab some fresh Blue Crabs.

Blue Crabs are my absolute favourite crustacean as I grew up eating them but scared of them when they were alive. Mum giggled and challenged me to touch one whilst it was alive. That was not going to happen since I still carried that fear but enjoyed eating them. She placed them in the freezer when we got home (as it was the humane way to kill them)and for me to use later. 

Mum was taken aback briefly , when I described what I would prepare, however she  supported my choice❤️.

I quickly went downstairs and decided to use the coal pot to prepare this dish.
