Steps:
- Combine the cream, curry powder and lemon juice in a small bowl, and mix well. This step enables the curry flavor to develop.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large pot over high heat, and add the shallots, thyme and bay leaf. Stir until wilted. Add the white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until the mussels open. Stir from time to time to assure even cooking. As soon as the mussels are opened, remove them from heat, and strain cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a bowl. Reserve 2 cups of the juice.
- Remove the top shell from each mussel and discard it, leaving the mussel meat attached to its bottom shell. Arrange decoratively on a serving platter, and keep warm.
- In a large saucepan, over medium heat, melt the remaining butter, and whisk in the flour, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Cook briefly; do not brown. Slowly add the 2 cups of reserved cooking juice, whisking constantly. Bring to a rolling boil. Add the cream-and-curry mixture, and combine well. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Add salt, and check for seasoning. Ladle the sauce over the mussels, and serve immediately.
