Mussels and White Fish in a Light Saffron Tomato Coconut Broth

My next Vij's Seafood attempt was his version of Moules Mariniere. This was more of my response to Raquel saying she was craving Moules Mariniere (one of her favorite dishes). While I'm certainly a fan of the classic French preparation of mussels, I found the spicy, robust, full-flavored Indian version more exciting. Because even though the broth was light, it enhanced the plump, juicy mussels to a whole new level. Of course, it also helps that I threw in tons of jalapenos, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Yes, I like my food spicy.

For the record, this goes well with grilled bread, a spring salad, and big cold mug of beer.
