method
1. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the shallots and curry powder and cook for 5 minutes or until the shallots are softened.
2. Add the mussels, white wine and 100 ml (3 1/2 fl oz) water, cover and bring slowly to the boil. Boil for a few seconds until the mussels open. Discard any that do not open. Remove from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche. Sprinkle with parsley, if using, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
