About Mulligatawny Soup
This is an English soup which originated from South Indian cuisine. The name originates from the Tamil words miḷagāy (‘pepper’), and taṇṇi ( ‘water’). It is related to the soup rasam. Due to its popularity in England during British India, it was one of the few items of Indian cuisine that found common mention in the literature of the period.
Recipes for mulligatawny varied greatly over the years, and there is no single original version. Later versions included British modifications that included meat, though the local Madras recipe on which it was based did not.
