Notes
- For easier cooking and serving, I like to separate the crab into its body and legs.
- Although turmeric powder is optional, I add a pinch because of its anti-allergic properties, which can help prevent allergic reactions.
- Boiling the crab with salt and turmeric powder is also optional, but it's a good step to take to avoid allergies.
- Garlic powder and parsley are not required, but they do improve the flavor significantly.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can use soy milk or almond milk instead of cream.
- You can also use vegetable stock or water in place of chicken stock; I personally prefer to use homemade chicken stock.
- Finally, adjust the black pepper or green chili to your liking.
