30min

Ingredients

2 lbs whole mussels (in the shell)
Sunflower oil, for frying
1 onion, chopped
A thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, grated
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 green chilies, chopped
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
13.5 oz coconut milk
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a casserole dish. Fry the onion until lightly browned, then add the ginger, garlic, chilies, spices, a pinch of salt, and some pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until toasted and fragrant. Pour in the coconut milk, bring to a boil, and simmer for a few minutes to allow everything to combine.

 

2. Add the mussels to the casserole, cover, raise the heat to high, and cook for 7 minutes, until the mussels have opened. Sprinkle with cilantro sprigs on top and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.

 

3. It pairs well with rice or toasted bread to dip into the sauce.
