instructions
Rinse the mussels in plenty of cold water. Discard any broken mussels or those that remain open and do not close after a tap with the back of a spoon or against the counter. Heat a generous splash of oil in a large wok or cast iron pan. Sauté the onions for 8 minutes, until they are soft. Add the curry to the onions and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the red chili pepper, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, then add the tomato paste, sugar, salt, coconut milk, and lemon juice to the pan. Bring to a boil. Once the creamy curry sauce is boiling, add the drained mussels. Place the lid on the pan and cook the mussels for a few minutes, until the shells open. Stir and sprinkle with finely chopped coriander before serving the Indian mussels.
Tip!
Serve with fragrant pandan rice or pieces of naan bread. They are excellent for soaking up the delicious creamy coconut curry.

Facts about Prince
How do I cook my mussels?
Put the vegetables together with a splash of wine or beer in a large pot. Place the mussels on top. Sprinkle with pepper and bring to a boil with the lid closed. Shake the mussels during cooking. When the shells are all open after about 5-8 minutes, the mussels are cooked. Serve them with baguette or fries and sauces of your choice. Check the traditional recipe for more information.
Can you freeze fresh mussels?
Fresh mussels in the shell should never be frozen. However, if you have cooked the mussels and can't eat them all, you can freeze the mussel meat after removing it from the shell. You can then add the mussels to soup or salad later, or fry them up nicely with some onion.
