A good friend is someone who brings home a large live lobster ...

... And then we get started on cooking it

This is the largest lobster I've cooked!

The cutting board and my large knife look so little 
☺

What you need ...

Chop onions, garlic, ginger and green chillies. 

Fry the onions till they are light brown, then add the garlic, 

ginger, green chillies and fry a few minutes. 

Add Kashmiri chilly powder, clove powder, 

cinnamon powder, coriander powder, 

and 

when the mixture begins to stick to the pan, 

add a finely chopped tomato, 

and a little vinegar to prevent sticking to the pan.

Add the lobster which must be cut at the joints. 

For large pieces crack the shell so that the spices penetrate in for flavour. 

Mix very well to prevent sticking to the pan, 

turn off the heat, keep shut 

and allow to cook for about the time it takes to set up the table, 

and have a sip of Gewürztraminer

☺
