Did you know? Mangalorean Crab Sukka's signature roasted coconut gravy dates back to 14th-century Arab traders who brought coconut to Karnataka. Fishermen slow-cooked crabs in clay pots with this paste to preserve freshness. The 'sukka' (dry) style was invented to pack it for sea voyages. Julia Child once called it "India's answer to lobster thermidor" after tasting it in 1972.
