CRAB CAKE

Crab cake is a classic American dish prepared with crab  meat and various other ingredients, such as bread crumbs, milk, mayonnaise, eggs, yellow onions, and seasonings. Occasionally other ingredients such as red or green peppers or pink radishes are added, at which point the cake is then sautéed, baked, or grilled and then served.

Crab cakes are typically deep fried and breaded, and are often filled with stuffing of various sorts and served on a hamburger bun. Restaurant crab cakes, which are sometimes called gourmet crab cakes, are often prepared with no filler, and are composed of all-lump crab meat served on a platter or open-faced sandwich.

Crab cakes vary in size from a small cookie to a large size of a hamburger. They are sometimes served with a sauce, such as tartar sauce, mustard, or ketchup. Crab cakes are a comfort food for some, the first thing they seek out at a breakfast buffet. Others love a crab cake appetizer, especially brilliant when served before a simple seafood entree. Crab cakes are generally prepared small in size, and set the stage for additional comfort food, or a full meal.

Crab cakes served with a light salad or rice dish make a wonderful meal or can also be a sumptuous starter. The most important step when preparing crab cakes is buying quality, and fresh ingredients, when possible. Bigger isn’t always better. But flavor is especially when it comes to king crab cakes.

Just as succulent and delicious loaded with sweet king crab meat, buttery crackers and select seasonings. Crab cakes are prepared a variety of different ways including baking, broiling, deep-frying, sautéing, grilling, oven-steaming, and no cooking at all.

While most crab cake recipes are relatively easy to prepare, care should be taken at each step to insure consistency of flavor, texture, and aroma. Each crab cake recipe is unique.

The key to perfect crab cakes is having the right crab for the cakes. One of the tricks to achieving a consistent, light, flaky crab cake is using a minimum amount of filler and binder. The result is a crab cake with rich crab flavor.

Whether deep-fried, pan-fried or broiled, crab cakes are delicious served alone, but often are accompanied with special sauces or salsas to enhance the delicate flavors.For preparing the Alaskan king crab cake in Indian style, clean and remove the crab meat from the king crab legs. Chop them finely and put them in a mixing bowl. In a pan, add a very little oil, add cumin seeds, crushed garlic, chopped onions and little salt.

Fry the onions till they are translucent and soft. Do not over fry them. Mix all these ingredients with the crab meat. Add cooked rice, chilli powder (as per your taste), chopped coriander leaves and mix all the ingredients well. To this add the bread crumbs and mix nicely. The bread crumbs would absorb all the extra moisture and helps in binding to form dumplings from this mixture.

Beat an egg and mix it to this mixture and mix and form into big dumplings and slightly flatten them to a nice shape. Add little butter to the tawa or griddle and fry these crab cakes on a very low to medium flame till golden brown color. Crab cakes are a culinary treat.
