Freshly harvested Malabar spinach (Basale/Valche Bajji) from my mom's terrace garden is paired with tender mussels to create a wholesome, nutritious, and flavorful curry. Malabar spinach is known for its thick, tender stems and nutrient-rich leaves, making it perfect for combination curries. In this recipe, the stems are cooked first until tender, followed by the leaves, which blend beautifully into the rich coconut-based masala. Mussels are a prized seafood found along India's coastal regions. They are naturally rich in protein, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them both delicious and nutritious. Their sweet, briny flavor pairs wonderfully with the mild taste of Malabar spinach. This traditional curry is made with freshly ground coconut, coriander, cumin, pepper, turmeric, tamarind, onion, garlic, and ripe tomatoes. The result is a comforting, aromatic curry that's best enjoyed with steamed rice or boiled rice.
