Crab and dumplings

Short description: A seafood main where curried crab is served with firm dumplings for scooping up the gravy.
Ingredients: Crab, flour dumplings, curry powder, coconut milk, garlic, onion, herbs, hot pepper, and green seasoning.
Cultural note: Beachside vendors and home cooks often serve it as a messy, hands-on meal built around sweet crab and sturdy dumplings.
Common misconception: The dumplings are not sweet; they are plain, firm pieces meant to carry the curry gravy.
