Crab Cake

Crab cake is an American dish with crab meat.

I came across this from my trips to my friend's house in Baltimore,Maryland state where it is famous for.

Later in other states I found it in the restaurant menu as the Maryland crab cakes.

Below is my version of it.

Ingredients:

crab meat/imitation crab meat - 1/2 lb

celery - 2 stalks

red jalapeno pepper - 1 or 2

small onion - 3 or 4

mayonnaise - 2 tbsp

egg - 1

bread crumbs - 1/2 to 1 cup

chilli powder -1/2 tsp

turmeric powder -1/4 tsp

salt to taste

Method:

Flake up the crab meat. If you are using imitation crab meat put in blender or food processor and chop it up.

Real crab meat will obviously taste more good.

Cook the crab meat with turmeric powder and salt and may be a little water.It should be dried when cooked.

Remove seeds from jalapeno and finely chop it and onion and celery.

Mix crab meat and all other ingredients and make patties.

It will be little tender type. If patty is not forming well mix in more bread crumbs.

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Then shallow fry them and enjoy.

Use it in burger or as accompaniment to any dish.
