Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and chili flakes. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant.

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

Add the cleaned octopus pieces to the pot. Stir to coat with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the octopus to release some of its liquid.

Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the octopus is tender. Stir occasionally.

Season with salt to taste. If the curry is too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for the last 10 minutes to thicken.

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
