Tip in all the powders into the cleaned mussels and mix well. Leave to marinate for around 15 mins.
Meanwhile, heat around 2 tbsp oil in a wok and add the diced onion, sauté till translucent.
Now drop in the marinated mussels along with the curry leaves and cook uncovered by constant stirring.

Once,the water from the mussels completely dry up you may add another tbsp or 2 of oil and cook by stirring until you get a nice and crispy roast and seen in the pictures. This might take nearly 10-15 mins.

Serve this pipping hot with some steaming rice and curry or Ghee rice.
