!Synopsis
|(Recipe: Davla/Sea-purslane and dried Shrimp/prawn curry with Rice / Roti)


Parag Tandel, a Mumbai-based artist from the Koli (fisher-folk) community, is the co-founder of the [https://tandelfundofarchives.org/ Tandel Fund of Archives] which seeks to document the community’s cultural practices, music and the arts through participatory practice embedded in oral traditions. Food is at the heart of this extensive effort. During the strict lockdown from late March to end-May 2020, fresh fish was largely unavailable to the community as all livelihood activities had ceased. So Tandel and his mother opened up their reserve of dried seafood. To preserve and store food, including various fish, is a common custom amongst the Kolis. They believe that dry fish tastes best in the Monsoon only when fishing is restricted, both because the seas are stormy and to allow for fish stock to replenish (sustainability). Every week the artist (and his mother) shared recipes using dry seafood and ingredients found and cooked only in Koli homes. For this publication they will share a rare recipe of dried shrimps cooked with Davla, a local shrub growing in salt marshes.
