Tips:

  • Ensure Mussels are Clean: Before cooking, inspect mussels for any open shells or broken ones, discarding them. Scrub the mussels with a brush to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use Fresh Coconut Milk: For the best flavor, use fresh coconut milk instead of canned. If you don't have access to fresh coconut milk, use full-fat canned coconut milk.
  • Add Veggies for Extra Flavor: Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas to the curry for extra flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcook Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so avoid overcooking them. Overcooked mussels become tough and rubbery.
  • Garnish with Herbs: Before serving, garnish the curry with fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for an extra layer of flavor and color.
