Lobster



Are you a seafood lover? Then, Lobster has to be one of your many favorites. When I bring live lobsters home for dinner, my kitchen turns into a chaotic rampage. Holding the live lobster (although their sharp claws are clamped with thick rubber bands, they move their tails violently) from the grocery bag and putting them into a pot of boiling water is something very amusing to watch. My husband and I dance and scream each holding a very long tongs and pot lids (serving as a shield) till the lobsters seem dead and the war is won.

Put the live lobsters head first into a pot of boiling water with some ginger added to it. Cover it with a lid. After about 8-10 minutes the lobster is cooked and all red. Drain the water with lobsters onto kitchen sink. Tear apart the parts, wash and clean the insides.

Heat oil in a wok, fry the lobsters with salt and turmeric. This is the base. Now you can make it in any way you like, be it a curry with ginger, garlic, onions and cumin paste or rub it with mustard paste and fry cook till done.

Pretty sadistic, isnt it? That you find it amusing killing live lobsters in boiling water.
