👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   If using fresh octopus, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned. If using frozen, thaw completely. Cut the octopus into bite-sized pieces.

   💡 プロのコツ: Tenderizing octopus can be done by beating it gently against a hard surface, or by simmering it in water for about 30-45 minutes until tender before proceeding with the curry.
2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped chili peppers. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Stir in the curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the octopus pieces to the pot and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. 7

   Pour in the coconut milk and add salt to taste. Stir well to combine.

   💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the coconut milk is well-shaken or stirred if it has separated.
8. 8

   Bring the curry to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the octopus is tender and the sauce has thickened.

   💡 プロのコツ: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
9. 9

   Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, and with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

   💡 プロのコツ: Traditionally served with rice, ugali, or chapati.
