Kallumakaya/ Kadukka/Mussels Fry

It is one of the all time favorites next to lobster and crab.Mussels or kadukka is a good source of zinc and folic acid.It is more popular in Malabar regions and there are several traditional and exotic recipes and it can be either fried or stuffed( arikadukka- mussels stuffed with rice paste). As I searched the web I found another interesting recipe of the Malabar region Kadukka pickle!. Anyways I am yet to try arikadukka and pickle. The whole process of cleaning mussels is tedious. It needs to be boiled to open the shells and removal of the wastes etc., will be time consuming. Here I tried with the cleaned and packed mussels. This is spicy and delicious and can be served as an appetizer or a side dish. Ingredients Mussels- 1 1/2 lb Onion sliced-1  Shallot - 8-10 Tomato- 1 medium Ginger-2 inch thick Garlic- 8-10 pods Chilly powder- 1 tsp Pepper powder- 3/4 tsp Coriander powder- 1 tsp Turmeric powder...
