About Mud Crab
Mud Crab — called Khekda or Chimbori in Maharashtra — is the king of Indian crabs. Its thick claws are loaded with sweet, dense meat; the body yields rich, creamy flesh perfect for butter garlic preparations and Navi Mumbai's famous crab masala. NaavFresh sources Mud Crab live from local coastal waters and delivers it fresh — not frozen — the same morning.

How to Cook Mud Crab
Butter Garlic Crab
Steam the crab for 8 minutes. Toss in a sauce of butter, garlic, chilli and cream. Finish with fresh parsley. Best eaten immediately with crusty bread.
Navi Mumbai Crab Masala
Build a base of onion, tomato, coconut and Malvani spices. Add cleaned crab pieces and cook covered for 12–15 minutes. The shell imparts deep flavour into the masala.
Singapore Chilli Crab (Inspired)
Deep-fry cleaned crab pieces briefly. Make a sauce of tomatoes, dried chillies, garlic, egg and cornstarch. Toss the crab in the sauce on high heat for 8 minutes.
