Dilute the curry with more liquid like water or coconut milk. You may need to adjust seasoning but it works wonders.
Sometimes I just squeeze in some lemon juice; acidity can help counteract the saltiness!
Add a raw, peeled potato to the curry while it’s simmering; it'll absorb some of the salt. Just remember to remove it before serving!
My trick: I add a spoonful of sugar or honey! Sweetness helps balance the salty flavor.
