Heat the coconut oil in the wok. Stir fry the onion, ginger, turmeric , garlic, coriander on a medium heat for 3 minutes. Season with pepper. Add the tomato purée and fry for another minute. Pour in the coconut milk and 250 ml of water. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 6 minutes. Pour the sauce through a sieve, then return to the wok. Season with the cane sugar and salt.
Add the mussels and bring to the boil with the lid on the pan. Let the mussels cook in approx. 6 minutes. Shake the pan regularly. Check if all the shells have opened properly. Finely slice the rest of the coriander and scatter over the mussels. Serve immediately.
