Mulligatawny Soup is a curried soup that is literally translated as "pepper water". I love soups and a spiced up soup is perfect for the cooler days we are having lately.
I have wanted to add a Sri Lankan Mulligatawny Soup to the blog after seeing so many westernized versions out there. I talked to my mother about this soup and said the versions I have made with prepared curry powder are just not giving me the right flavor. She told her recipe/method for Mulligatawny soup so I took that as my outline and made my own version here.
I like this soup plain, but I also cooked some rice to go with this soup to make it a hearty meal for my family. Actually, in Sri Lanka it's also served with something we call string hoppers (recipe for the string hoppers will be up someday soon).
My kids were first not sure if they wanted to eat a curried soup, but I insisted that they taste just a little of it before deciding for sure. I added some rice and gave them only a half bowl to try out first. Soon they were bringing their bowls back to me and doing a total "Oliver Twist" by asking for more please. The second helping was a nice hearty bowl of soup.

I saved a helping for my mother to try out so she could give me the official thumbs up or down. She gave me a thumbs up, but said my broth base was not as thick as she makes her base. My mother told me that she likes to add small diced potatoes to the soup and this helps thicken the soup more with the starch. Since I'm more into low carb foods and I try to avoid too much starch in the foods I eat, I opted not to put potatoes into this version. Of course, if you like potatoes, add two medium peeled and diced potatoes to your soup after you add the stock and chicken to the pot.
Now don't let all the steps and the ingredients intimidate you from making this soup. If you prep the stock the day before the soup comes together very quickly and it's mostly simmering on the stove until the final few steps.
So add some peppered water into your life this fall... it will warm you from the inside out.

ReplyDeleteIn general, Mulligat soup is a traditional Indian dish. Recently, I needed to help to do homework and I learned a lot of interesting things about the features of this kitchen. The cuisine of India is one of the most delicious and spicy collections of dishes in the world. The development of the culinary traditions of this multinational country was greatly influenced by religion. As is known, the overwhelming part of the population of this country consists of people professing Islam and Hinduism. Islam imposes a ban on the use of pork, and in Hindu it is forbidden to eat beef. Accordingly, the basis of traditional dishes of national cuisine of India are vegetables, cereals.
Also in India, a lot of condiments, and in each region they are their own. Coconut juice (or its shavings) also serve as a seasoning.
