Dear Urmila!

I was not offended as you have mentioned that it was a joke.
Jokes apart, I have to thank you for pointing out the mistake I have done in posting that recipe. Here I am re-posting the same recipe with the correction.


CRAB LEGS SOUP:

Ingredients:

Crab legs -8
Tamarind- a lime size
Crushed tomato-1/2 cup
Turmeric powder- ½ tsp
Fennel seeds- 2 tsp
Curry leaves- a handful
Red chillies-3
Peppercorns- 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds- 1 tsp
Garlic flakes[small]- 8
Salt to tatse
Oil- 2 tbsp

Procedure:

Soak the tamarind in water and extract its juice. Mix water to it to make it as 4 to 5 cups. Grind coarsely the red chillies with the peppercorns, garlic flakes, cumin seeds, and 1 tsp of fennel seeds. Add this to the tamarind water with the turmeric powder, the crab legs and enough salt. Let it simmer for 10 minutes on medium fire. Heat a kadai and pour the oil. Add the remaining fennel seeds and curry leaves. Fry them for a few seconds and add this to the simmering soup. Again let the soup simmers for another 5 minutes.
