About Curry de poulpe
The COI and FAO’s Indian Ocean recipe collection presents ourite au lait de coco as a Comorian octopus dish. This version combines octopus with tomato, onion, garlic, coconut milk and spices.
Cumin, turmeric, chilli and ginger supply the warm aromatic character around the seafood. Coconut milk provides the sauce’s rich finish, with lemon juice also included in the published inventory.
The octopus is tender and cut into pieces in the reduced tomato mixture before coconut milk completes the sauce. Salt is conditional in the source; no separate accompaniment or final serving-temperature category is prescribed.
