👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped chili peppers. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
4
Add the octopus pieces to the pot and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until the octopus starts to firm up.
5
Pour in the coconut milk and add the diced tomatoes and cubed sweet potato. Season with salt.
6
Bring the curry to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the octopus is tender and the sweet potato is cooked through. Stir occasionally.
7
Stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
8
Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander. This curry is excellent with rice or steamed taro.
