Bengalis love potato & so, this crab curry contains big chunks of potato that are nicely seared with the masala & simmered with the crab! This Kakrar Jhal is the best Bengali crab curry that you will ever have. Bongs prefer their runny Murgir Jhol (chicken curry) or Kochi Pathar Jhol (mutton curry) along with big chunks of potatoes. However, while making Crab Curry I have added potato wedges instead of big chunks.
