  Healthy, easy and very tasty. We left out the sugar. Be warned though it is very hot, not one for those shy of chillies! Fantastic 'diet' food.

  I was really looking forward to this recipe and was disappointed. The mussels themselves were lovely (but they were fresh and I love mussels) but the broth looked like dirty dish water and wasn't very tastey. Will stick to a classic moules mariniere next time!

  I absolutely loved this! I couldn't find any tamarind paste, so I used the juice of 2 limes and it worked well. I also left out the sugar, but put in one sweetener tablet, which was fine. Very tasty I thought!
