This was outstanding! My husband, who is NOT a big fan of cream sauces, loved this dish! The sauce, even with the addition of the creme fraiche at the end, was still nice and light and full of great flavor. I actually doubled it and made it with two pounds of mussels. I tend to like to add "heat" to my curry dishes, but I took your advise and kept the spices sweet and mild. I'm glad I did!
