coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories, while evaporated milk is often less expensive.

Clean the crab using a kitchen toothbrush to remove any debris and dirt.

Cut off the first joint of the crab's foot and scrape out the insides carefully.

Prepare the crab by washing it thoroughly and ensuring it is clean before cooking.

In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of fresh processed green seasoning, 1 teaspoon of Maggie seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 100 grams of coconut milk powder to room temperature water to avoid lumps, then mix well.

Grate 1 small carrot and add it to the mixture along with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tomato, and 1 scotch bonnet pepper.

In a cool pot, layer the crab, callaloo leaves, and the mixed ingredients.

Turn on the stove to low heat and cover the pot, cooking for about 10 minutes while checking occasionally.

After 10 minutes, check the consistency and stir to ensure even cooking, adding water if necessary.

Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, monitoring for any overflow from the pot.
