SONG LYRICS / THE KERALA MEAT FRY SONG / Erechi Olarthiyathu

Lost in the pages of a book, I've finished reading it twice
I can see Mariamma in her kitchen, simmering Erechi with coconut & spice
Making
Erechi Olarthiyathu, Kerala Meat Fry
Erechi Olarthiyathu, oh I swear by
Erechi Olarthiyathu, Kerala Meat Fry
Erechi Olarthiyathu, its a must-try

Clove, green cardamom, pepper star anise
Cinnamon with fennel and coriander seeds
Roast all the spices and then let them cool
Make the meat masala that will make you drool
Use it to coat all the meat with your hand
Let the meat soak in the flavours of the land

Erechi Olarthiyathu, Kerala Meat Fry
Erechi Olarthiyathu, oh I swear by
Erechi Olarthiyathu, Kerala Meat Fry
Erechi Olarthiyathu, its a must-try

Saute in coconut oil onion garlic,
Ginger and mustard, and chilli, turmeric
Curry leaves and coconut, slivered or sliced
Salt to your taste, and then the magic spice

Saute for a while, add the meat and then stir
Now add a cup or two or three of water
Pressurise on high first, then on low
Turn off the heat, we're almost good to go

In coconut oil Mariamma refries the meat
With curry leaves and coconut, a hot sizzling treat

Erechi Olarthiyathu, Kerala Meat Fry
Erechi Olarthiyathu, oh I swear by
Erechi Olarthiyathu, its a must try
Erechi Olarthiyathu, Kerala Meat Fry
