Break the crab into desired portions and crush the shell a bit so flesh can be more easily removed.
Slice the shallots and chillies, grind garlic and ginger and grate the coconut.
Place the crab in a pan and add the shallots, chiles, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fenugreek, pepper, paprika powder, cinnamon stick, curry powder, curry leaves, coriander leaves and thin coconut milk and cook until crabs are done.
