Kari Koko Poisson (Seychellois Coconut Fish Curry)
Tender red snapper simmered in fragrant coconut milk infused with fresh curry leaves, turmeric, and vibrant Seychellois masala.
The story
Rooted in Seychelles' Franco-African and Indian maritime history, Kari Koko represents the ultimate Creole comfort dish. Freshly caught reef fish like bourgeois (red snapper) is simmered with freshly grated coconut milk and garden-grown kaloupilé (curry leaves). Served ubiquitously across Mahé and Praslin over fluffy white rice, it is customarily balanced with a tart green papaya or bilimbi satini.
