Sri Lankan Crabs with Spinach & Coconut Milk

Almost every daughter thinks that her mother is the best cook in the world, and Piyumi Samaratunga is no exception. She reminisced with me about her childhood days in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and particularly about her mother’s culinary prowess. This family favorite drew my attention for the way it showcased the delicacy of crabmeat in creamy-rich coconut milk. Ladle it over the Sri Lankan pearl rice called muttu for a truly divine experience.
