• 1 soft shell crab (bought frozen) 
• ½ cup of sliced, julienned fresh tomato 
• ¼ cup sliced shallot 
• 1 small bunch of coriander, roughly chopped 
• ½ cup of pennyworth leaf, finely chopped 
• 4 tablespoons crushed peanuts 
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds 
• 1 pinch of crispy fried shallots (store bought or home-made) 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 2 tablespoons garlic oil 
• 2 tablespoons chili oil
Flour dusting 
• 2 tablespoons rice flour 
• 2tablespoons tapioca flour 
• Oil for frying
Defrost the soft shell crab and pat dry thoroughly.
To prepare the crab, take off the shell gently and clean the dead man’s finger and lungs. Cut the crab into four pieces and pat dry again.
Combine both flours together in a bowl. Dust the crab in the flour. Set aside briefly while you make the salad.
Combine the garlic and chilli oils together, adding the salt in also. Add in the tomatoes, and sprinkle in the peanuts and sesame seeds. Add the sliced shallots and toss everything gently together.
Heat the oil and then shallow fry the crab until golden and crispy.
Add the hot, crispy crab pieces together with the tomato salad.
Finish by folding through the coriander and penny worth leaf. Serve piled high on a plate.
&nbsp;
*Pennyworth leaf is a lesser known ingredient, but one that is worth seeking out for its unique flavor and texture somewhere between an herb and watercress-type salad green.
Easy Sarong Twist 
In Burma, you find pennyworth leaf sold on the shores of Inle Lake. Here in Indonesia, it’s quite easy to source if you’re looking for it. Ask your local fresh grocer.

<a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beef-Short-Rib-Curry-01.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-14323" title="Beef-Short-Rib-Curry-01" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beef-Short-Rib-Curry-01-824x1024.jpg" alt="" width="590" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beef-Short-Rib-Curry-01-824x1024.jpg 824w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beef-Short-Rib-Curry-01-241x300.jpg 241w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beef-Short-Rib-Curry-01-544x676.jpg 544w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Beef-Short-Rib-Curry-01.jpg 1174w" sizes="(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px" /></a>
• Basic beef stock 
• 500 grams of short rib beef bone in 
• 2 litres of water / fresh chicken stock 
• 40 grams fresh garlic, peeled, 
• 75 grams fresh ginger, peeled 
• 20 grams of chilli paste (see method below) 
• 1 inch stick of cinnamon 
• 12 cloves 
• 10 grams tomato paste 
• 1 small bunch of curry leaves 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 1 teaspoon sugar 
• 5 new potatoes 
• 3 green chillis, sliced 
• 1 small bunch of coriander, roughly chopped 
• 1 pinch of deep fried shallot (for garnish)
For chili paste: 
Pre-soak dried red chillis for approximately thirty minutes. Pound in a mortar and pestle to blend into a rustic paste.
&nbsp;
To prepare the beef, rinse the bones well under cold water then bring to boil in a large pot of water. Once the beef has boiled, skim the surface and drain the water.
Boil the new potatoes until just cooked through and set aside.
To make the ‘bumbu’, or spice paste, which will be the basis of this aromatic curry, roughly pound the fresh ginger and garlic separately into a paste.
Fry out the ginger-garlic paste, then add in the home-made chili paste and spices of cinnamon and cloves. Add in the curry leaves last.
Add the beef bones to a fresh pot of 2 liters of water or chicken stock. Bring to the boil, then add in the bumbu.
Lower the heat and slowly reduce the stock until the meat is tender and yields.
*If the stock is a little watery, scoop out the beef ribs while reducing further without the meat until it is slightly richer and more intensified.
Finish the curry with fresh coriander, green chili and boiled new potatoes.
Scatter with deep fried shallots to garnish and serve with jasmine rice or hot, crunchy roti canai.
