Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pan, add onion, garlic and ginger, cook until onion softens.
- Stir in spices, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick and sambal oelek, stir until fragrant.
- Add coconut cream, stir until well combined.
- NOTE: The kara brand is quite a thick coconut cream, if my sauce thickens up to much I add a little extra light cream or milk. I haven't mentioned, adding cornflour to thicken for this reason, but I also know some brands can be quite watery, so you may want to thicken some more, if this is the case.
- Add sugar and juice, stir until mixed.
- Add all the seafood and cook covered about 5-10 Min's or until seafood is cooked through. Cooking times will vary according to what seafood you choose to use in this, so I can't give you an exact time.
- I served mine over sweet potato mash, but it is also good over rice as well.

Steps:
- For the curry sauce, whizz the onion and ginger together to a purée. Heat the oil in a large pan until smoking. Add the garam marsala and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the onion and ginger purée, reduce the heat and slowly cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining spices, fry for 1 min, stir in the chilli and fry for another min, then add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, and stir well. You can do this way in advance, then just throw the curry together on the night - the sauce will freeze or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To make the curry, melt a third of the ghee in a large pan. Cook the white fish for 2-3 mins until lightly browned, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the salmon and prawns, adding another third of ghee each time. For the mussels, heat a medium-sized saucepan on a high heat. Add the mussels with 2 tbsp of water, cover tightly with a lid, and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Drain and set aside with the other seafood.
- Bring the sauce to the boil, stir the fish and mussels in gently, bring to the boil again, then remove from the heat and leave for 3-4 mins - the fish will finish cooking in the heat from the sauce. Add the coriander leaves and serve with Spiced rice and Carrot & cumin salad (see 'Goes well with' on the right of this page).

Tips:
- Choose fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the curry will be. Look for seafood that is firm and has a mild, briny smell.
- Use a variety of seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood in your curry. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the base of the curry, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
- Add vegetables to the curry: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the curry. Some good vegetables to add to seafood curry include potatoes, carrots, onions, and peppers.
- Serve the curry with rice or bread: Curry is traditionally served with rice or bread. Rice is a good choice because it absorbs the curry sauce well. Bread is also a good option, especially if you want a more portable meal.
Conclusion:
Seafood curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make a seafood curry that is sure to impress your family and friends.
