Naan

Method

Preparation of Mussels

  1. 1

    Clean the Mussels

    Rinse the PEI mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells gently with a brush to remove any debris. Remove any beards by pulling them off with your fingers.

  2. 2

    Prepare for Cooking

    Place the cleaned mussels in a large bowl and set aside while you prepare the sauce.

Cooking the Tomato Curry Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, coconut milk, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Add Mussels

    Once the sauce is simmering, add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.

Final Touches

  1. 7

    Garnish with Cilantro

    Chop the cilantro leaves and sprinkle them over the cooked mussels in the sauce.

  2. 8

    Serve with Naan

    Warm the naan in a separate pan or microwave. Serve the mussels tikka masala hot with naan on the side for dipping.
