Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g mixed seafood
  • 15–20 live mussels
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 fresh red chillies
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 200 ml water
  • 1 dash freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 small handful fresh coriander

Instructions

  1. Marinate the mixed seafood (excluding the mussels) with the fish sauce and turmeric. Allow it to sit aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Scrub the live mussels gently to remove any grit and pull off their beards. Set them aside while you prepare the rest of your curry.
  3. Cut the onion into quarters and the fresh red chillies into 2-3 parts, depending on their size.
  4. Blend the onion, garlic, and chillies together until you achieve a smooth paste.
  5. Chop the fresh coriander and set it aside.
  6. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion-chili paste and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add the chili powder, chili flakes, and sugar to the sautéed mixture. Cook for another minute.
  8. Add the canned chopped tomatoes and ¾ of the water to the wok. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  9. Reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes.
  10. Increase the heat again and add all of the marinated seafood along with any marinade juices. Stir and bring back to a boil.
  11. Cover the wok and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the seafood is cooked through and all mussels have popped open.
  12. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add a dash of freshly ground black pepper and scatter the chopped fresh coriander over the top before serving.

Notes

Serve with jasmine rice or warm naan to soak up the delicious sauce. Best enjoyed fresh, and can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
