In a large pot or dutch oven, add the coconut oil over medium high heat.

Add the garlic, ginger and onion until lightly browned for 2-3 minutes.

Add in the habanero pepper,curry powder and coconut sugar and cook for another minute.

Add in the white wine to deglaze the pan and cook for another couple of minutes.

Add in the broth and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Then add the mussels and stir the mixture so that it coats the mussels.
