Steps

Drop in the crabs and cook until they stop moving , about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the crabs from the pot and cool.
When they are cool enough to handle , pull of and discard the top shell.
Scrape the insides clean with a small spoon.
Remove the spongy lungs on both sides of the body.
With a heavy knife , cut the crabs in quarters and crack the claws.
Set aside.
Heat a small frying pan over medium heat.
Toast the coriander seeds and peppercorns , stirring constantly , for 1 minute , then grind finely in a spice mill or coffee grinder.
Place in a bowl and add the paprika , cayenne and turmeric.
Set aside.
Heat the oil over medium heat in a frying pan or pot that will be able to accommodate the crab pieces.
Fry the black mustard seeds until they pop.
