Tandoori Octopus from Rooh

@roohsf 

Cooking over a charcoal fire in a tandoor is usually used in meats. Rooh applied the tandoori technique on octopus, presenting it on a bed of malai curry and garnished with colorful radish and edible flowers. Enjoy tender pieces of octopus with a hint of coconut from the curry.
