Mussels Gassi — coastline cooking: fresh catch, hard spices, and a clock that stops the second it is done. About 40 minutes from fridge to table.

Saltto taste
Onion1 large, chopped
Tomato2, chopped
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves1 sprig
Coconut Milk400 ml
Red Chili Powder1 tsp
Mussels500 g, scrubbed

Optional extras

Green Chili2
Tamarind Paste1 tsp

Instructions

1
Build the masala: onions to gold, the paste, tomatoes, and spices fried until the oil separates.
2
Add the liquid the name promises and simmer 10 minutes so the gravy finds itself.
3
Slip in the mussels and cook just until done — a few minutes past that is a crime at the coast.
4
Pour in the coconut milk last and warm through without boiling.
5
Rest 5 minutes and serve with rice — the coast insists.

Chef's tip

Coconut milk boils to butter if you rush it; warm it, never boil it.
