{Recipe}Crabs Caldine /Crab curry in coconut milk

Caldine or  Caldinha is a  mild yellow coloured curry with less of spice .Caldine curry is mostly prepared using prawns, King fish, Pomfret or any fish with lots of meat and also of veggies like Cauliflower, Bottle guard, Ladyfinger etc. But today for a change and also for the love of carbs tried preparing "Crab Caldhine", it was just amazing.

Caldhine curry is on sweeter side with very mild spice and its favourite among kids . The Caldhine curry is prepared extracting coconut juice so the curry is very creamy and smooth in  texture. Best served with steamed boiled rice or normal steamed rice. There is seldom requirement of any side dish when you have Caldhine curry over your steamed rice ;).

{Recipe}Goan Tisreo/Clams curry with drumsticks

Tisreo or clams curry with drumsticks recipe ,one more addition to my seafood collections. Special thanks to my friend Shilpa Naik, she took this recipe from her mummy who is expert in fish curries:). Though it would not be as tasty as Aunty prepares but tried her recipe in my Cocina with my touch ;).

I have any clams recipes in my blog like Goan Green Masala Clams Dry,Tisreyanche Sukhe/Goan Clams Dry,Goan Prawns and Clams pulao /Sungta ani Tisreyancho Pulao and now one added “Tisreo curry with drumsticks”. Earlier in this week prepared twice clams dry but this time wanted something different dish so i ended up asking my friends. The curry was yum because clams in red curry masala with drumsticks gave totally different taste. 

The curry was up to mark but only difference was the colour, as per Shilpa the colour should have been more dark red and that was missing in my clams curry as I did not use kashmiri chilies which the gives that bright red colour. But the curry taste was amazing enjoyed every shell of clams.
