Instructions

- Remove flesh from the shell, throw away black intestine and chop the flesh coarsely.
- Heat the oil in a hard bottom pan.
- Add onions and brown them to a golden color.
- Add green chillies, ginger garlic paste, curry leaves and salt.
- Sautee the above mix for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the items specified in powder section one by one and sautee well with the veggies till the raw smell goes.
- Add the mussels and coat them with the masala.
- Add lemon juice to the mix and do a salt taste test here.
- Cover the pan with a lid with occasional sauteeing, so that the mix won`t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the cover and fry the mix in open air after 10 minutes. :- This is to get the rich brown color as shown in the picture.
- Add a drop of ghee, if you want a rich aroma).
- :- Serve with lemon wedges, which can be squeezed on the mix while eating.
- Enjoy!!!
