Cari Ourite

What we know so far

Cari ourite is the Mauritian octopus curry, the lagoon's answer to chicken curry: octopus (ourite in Kreol) cut into pieces and simmered in a thick masala of onion, garlic, ginger, thyme, curry leaves, tomato and Mauritian curry powder until tender, finished with coriander. Unlike the Seychellois kari zourit there is usually no coconut milk; it is a dry, red, tomato-based curry eaten with rice, watercress broth, black lentils and tomato chutney, or with farata. Sunday lunch on the coast, and the dish tourists learn the word ourite for.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
