Heat mustard oil in a large pot over high flame.

Add crab pieces and sauté with salt and turmeric for 4-5 minutes until they release water and are slightly fried.

Remove the fried crab and set aside on a plate.

In the same pot, add a little more mustard oil and whole spices: cinnamon stick, bay leaf, clove, and star anise.

Add 4-5 green chilies and one sliced onion, sautéing until the onion is lightly browned.

Add two chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften.

Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté with the tomatoes for a few minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Add the ground spices: cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the oil separates from the mixture.

Pour in a little water and bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, add the crab back into the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Serve hot.
