  • 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.
