Season the Dungeness crab with salt, lemon pepper, complete seasoning, green seasoning, minced garlic, chopped onions, pimento peppers, and chopped tomatoes. Mix well and set aside.

In a pot, heat oil and add mati seeds and cumin seeds. Toast until dark brown.

Add curry leaves and sauté until fragrant. Then add onions, scallions, and hot pepper, sautéing until light brown.

Add nine spice curry powder and toast on low heat, then add water to cook the curry until thick and oil separates.

Add the crab to the curry and mix to coat, cooking for about 5 minutes.

Add enough water to create a sauce and coconut milk powder, then bring to a simmer, covering to lock in flavors.

Check the sauce consistency and ensure the crab is cooked through, then set aside.

To make the dumplings, mix flour, salt, coconut milk powder, and green seasoning. Gradually add water to form a firm dough.

Knead until it forms a solid dough ball, then roll out and cut into squares or desired shapes.

Drop dumplings into boiling water (no salt) and boil for about 12 minutes until they float.

Drain dumplings and set aside. In the same pot, add golden ray butter and aromatics (sliced onions, scallions, peppers, carrots). Sauté until tender.

Add the dumplings to the sautéed aromatics and mix well, cooking for about 5 minutes.
