Octopus is plentiful in Seychelles’s waters, making it a common seafood ingredient in salads, soups, and curries. This traditional dish, among the most popular and best-known on that island, is extremely flavorful, spicy, and unique. The creaminess of the octopus blends with the silky coconut curry sauce that’s heavy with cardamom and cinnamon. It’s incredibly rich and warming, and it should always be eaten with rice.
