If using Crab make sure to use only its meat and not with whole shell.....
Cook oyster meat together with little turmeric, little bit of ginger, lots of pepper, 5 cloves of minced garlic and salt on low flame without water until all the natural water in the meat disappears.
Fry the red onion, green chilly and rest of the ginger chops, little coconut chops & fennel seeds seperately.
Now add the cooked meat into it and fry.
Grind rest of the coconut, remaining turmeric & garlic and cumin seeds in a blender.
Do not grind to a paste ( just as required for thoran).
Add this to the above and fry.
Add curry leaves.
