To prepare the crabs, start by thoroughly washing them and separating the yellow part, setting it aside. Divide the crabs into penda (body) and back shell, keeping them separate. In a pan, fry onions, coconut, tomatoes, ginger, and cumin until aromatic, then grind into a fine paste, adding coriander. Roast millet flour, grind it, and combine it with the crab's yellow part and ground spices to make the stuffing. Stuff the crab, tie it, and steam on banana leaves for 30 minutes.
