Recipe For A Better World Order

Kerala Meen Kootaan (Fish Curry) (Credit to: Greg Palast and friends!!)

[A lovely and not-at-all-out-of-place recipe in the book on geopolitics by Greg Palast, Armed Madhouse! 🙂🙂 ]

You won't find this on the menu at The Palm or The Four Seasons or other feedlots for rulers of the New World Order.

Chances are, you've never heard of Kerala [I have! 🙂 LK], and the economic carnivores want to keep it that way. While the free-market Mousketeers peddle the blood-soaked fake "miracle" of Chile as their model, Kerala has thrived, notes Nobelist Amartya Sen, on the economic cooperative model, with expansive social services and universal education.

This tiny state on the Arabian Sea has a population more literate than any American state's---its main export is PhD's for energy and computer industries. In 1995, I visited a fisherman's cooperative.

This is what they fed me:

KERALA MEEN KOOTAAN CURRY

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. firm white fish (cod, halibut, sword) or tuna cut into 1-inch cubes

1 medium onion, chopped

1-inch cube ginger, shredded

7 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tsp. mild Kashmiri Red Chili Powder (or 1/2 tsp. hot red chilli powder plus 1 tsp. paprika)

1 1/2 tsp. coriander powder

1 pinch turmeric powder

4 pinches fenugreek powder

2 tbsp. canola oil or other light-flavored oil

1/2 tsp. mustard seeds

10-12 curry leaves (Note: Curry leaf is NOT the whole form of that English mixture called "curry powder".)

2 tsp. tamarind paste

1 cup water

salt

2tsp. coconut oil (optional, for garnishing)

Method

Cut and clean the fish.

In a blender or small food processor, make a paste of the following ingredients with a little water: onion, ginger, garlic, chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, and fenugreek powder

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry mustard seed and curry leaf.

Add the paste and fry all this well (until the oil separates).

Now add the softened tamarind, and pour in the rest of the water.

Then add salt. After it boils, add the fish.

Let it simmer until the gravy thickens and the fish is tender.

Lastly, sprinkle the coconut oil, and leave it on the heat for a minute.

Serve it with white basmati rice or with boiled tapioca.

Thanks to Santosh Shyamsundar in Kochin, Kerala, for recovering the recipe. Linda Levy in New York for converting it to the Western kitchen and Oliver Shykles of Brighton, UK, for testing it.

All that to be found on pps. 164-5 of Armed Madhouse, by Greg Palast! Which is mostly a book about politics and economics!!

(Other authors in the same field, like Michael Moore, John Pilger, should try this idea of including a local healthy recipe in their books! As well as making the curry... 🙂)
