By Christina Masters, The Rowdy Chowgirl

1 medium onion, sliced
1 tsp fresh diced ginger
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tbsp curry powder
1 pinch garam masala
1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
14-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup turkey stock (or chicken, or vegetable)
1 tbsp each, lemon and lime juice
1 tbsp chutney
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 head cauliflower, separated into florets
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 cups cooked diced turkey (or chicken, tofu, or garbanzo beans)

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil and butter, then add sliced onions and sauté for a few minutes. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for a few minutes longer. Remove from heat and process with an immersion or regular blender until smooth.

2. Return onions to heat and add spices, stirring well. Add diced tomatoes, stock, lemon and lime juices, chutney, and cauliflower. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally for approximately 10 minutes, or until cauliflower is tender.

3. Add peas and turkey. Reduce heat and cook gently until heated through. Add cream slowly, tasting as you go, until the sharp acidity of the sauce is gone.

4. Serve with rice.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
