Author Notes
Mussels and Masala Mama’s Coconut Curry are a match made in heaven. Zesty and full of flavor, the curry and mussels complement each other and make a subtle yet zingy sauce that is great to dip bread in. Super easy to make, gorgeous to look at and really aromatic and scrumptious. —MasalaMama

Directions

In a large stockpot heat butter or oil over medium-high heat.

Add shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until shallots are transparent and garlic is soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add Masala Mama Coconut curry sauce, ¾ cup coconut milk and ¾ cup fish or chicken broth. Bring to simmer.

Add the cleaned mussels to the pot, gently stir, cover and cook until mussels are opened, about 5-7 minutes. Do not overcook as the mussels will become rubbery.

Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add more coconut milk or stock if needed.

Garnish with cilantro and scallions. Serve immediately with toasted sourdough bread or baguette and lemon wedges on the side.

TIP: You can use mixed herbs such as basil, mint and parsley. You can also use chives instead of scallions.
