Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and steam until the clams are open. Using
a slotted spoon, remove the clams from the broth and set aside. Over high
heat, reduce the liquid by one third. Then add the coconut milk and curry

clams in a deep dish or soup plate for each person, then ladle the sauce on
top.
