Steps:
- For the curry sauce, whizz the onion and ginger together to a purée. Heat the oil in a large pan until smoking. Add the garam marsala and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the onion and ginger purée, reduce the heat and slowly cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining spices, fry for 1 min, stir in the chilli and fry for another min, then add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, and stir well. You can do this way in advance, then just throw the curry together on the night - the sauce will freeze or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To make the curry, melt a third of the ghee in a large pan. Cook the white fish for 2-3 mins until lightly browned, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the salmon and prawns, adding another third of ghee each time. For the mussels, heat a medium-sized saucepan on a high heat. Add the mussels with 2 tbsp of water, cover tightly with a lid, and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Drain and set aside with the other seafood.
- Bring the sauce to the boil, stir the fish and mussels in gently, bring to the boil again, then remove from the heat and leave for 3-4 mins - the fish will finish cooking in the heat from the sauce. Add the coriander leaves and serve with Spiced rice and Carrot & cumin salad (see 'Goes well with' on the right of this page).

My boyfriend and I frequent this thai restaurant in Aurora Ontario. I once ordered their Bamboo Squid, and when I got home, I made some revisions and came up with my own version. I am not so good at cooking with measurements, The way I cook is by tasting, adding a lil here and there ;-) Enjoy!

- Use a flavorful curry paste or powder: The curry paste or powder is what will give your curry its distinctive flavor. Choose a paste or powder that you like and that is appropriate for the type of seafood you are using.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a seafood curry. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create a curry that you love.
