Bring to boil, shake the pan and remove the mussels with a slotted spoon as they open; discard any empty shells or unopened mussels.

Arrange the mussels in a single layer, very close together, in a large ovenproof serving dish.

Step 6

Reduce the cooking liquid and add the curry powder. Add the cream and leave to simmer for a while, until the sauce is smooth, but not too thick.

Step 7

(If necessary, thicken the sauce with a little paste made by mixing the flour with some water until smooth and add just a little to sauce mix.)

Step 8

Adjust the seasoning and strain the sauce over the mussels, place the dish in a moderate oven for 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove dish and serve immediately.

Delicious and thoroughly enjoyed every one of those mussels, the only change I would make would be to saute a little minced garlic with the butter before putting in the mussels and other ingredients and as I used thick cream I found I didn't need the flour. Also I strained the sauce into a large jug and then poured over the mussels so the liquid was distributed evenly and served with some toasted crusty bread. Thank you Tisme made for Alphabet Soup game.
