Kari koko zourit

Kari koko zourit is a variety of Seychellois curry featuring octopus cooked in coconut milk. It typically comprises of octopus cut into small pieces, which are first boiled, and then cooked with coconut milk. The concoction is flavored with various herbs and spices. Even though in Seychelles the dish varies from one family to another, with each household having their own unique way of preparing it, other ingredients apart from octopus and coconut milk usually include cubed eggplants, garlic, fresh ginger, curry leaves, cinnamon leaves, curry powder, saffron, masala, chili powder, turmeric, and green hot chili peppers. A favorite of locals and tourists alike, octopus curry is usually accompanied by basmati rice, papaya chutney, and chili relish on the side, as well as palm heart salad, another Seychellois specialty. This traditional Creole dish is a staple at celebrations and festivities on the island.
