  1. To make chilli paste, mix chilli powder, coriander and turmeric in a small bowl with a little water to form a thick paste.

  2. To make spice paste, pound all ingredients in a mortar and pestle (or pulse briefly in a food processor).

  3. Clean crabs; trim legs, cut body into quarters, remove and crack claws.

  4. Heat oil in a wok. Lightly brown shallots and garlic. Add chilli paste and fry for 2-3mins. Add spice paste and fry for 1min or until fragrant, adding a little coconut cream to prevent ingredients from sticking to pan. Add crab and stir-fry for 5mins, coating well with spices. Add remaining coconut cream and grated coconut. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; stir in pineapple and salt. Cover and simmer for 8-10mins or until crab is cooked and very little sauce remains. Squeeze lime over top and serve.
