Instructions

Stir fry crab meat with 1 tsp oil till you get a dry bhurji style mixture. Keep it aside. Take a bowl and combine all the above mentioned ingredients except the beaten egg. Mix them well and grind to a coarse paste in a blender.
Now, transfer them to a bowl and add the beaten egg. Mix everything well and keep aside. Make small balls of the paste and keep aside. Heat paniyaram pan and grease with a little oil. Add 1 tsp oil in each cups of pan and drop the balls in.
Keep the flame to low and cook, otherwise the outer layer will get cooked soon and the inner part remains uncooked. For each batch, it took 10-15 mins to cook.
Serve them hot with coconut chutney or mint chutney.
