Method
Yellow Curry Paste
- Grind the coriander seeds & salt in a mortar & pestle to a fine powder, reserve in a bowl to add later.
- Soften the shrimp paste in the mortar & pestle to form a smooth paste.
- Place all the remaining ingredients into a food processor & blend to a fine paste - add the ground coriander seeds & shrimp paste.
- Blend again to mix. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Complete the Dish
- Place a non-stick fry pan on a medium heat, add the oil & the yellow curry paste, cook out the curry paste for approximately 5-6 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the palm sugar & continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the paste becomes golden brown.
- Add the coconut cream & stir well to blend, bring to a simmer.
- Add the mussels & allow to heat through in the sauce (overcooking will make the mussels rubbery).
- Add the lime juice & Nam Pla, bring the sauce to a boil & remove from the heat.
To Serve
- Use 4 separate bowl plates & evenly portion the mussels & yellow curry sauce across the plates.
- Garnish with capsicum & fresh coriander & serve.
