Mulligatawny Soup

Mulligatawny

Popular during the 19th century, this Anglo-Indian dish was the chicken tikka marsala of its day.

It's absolutely perfect for warming you up during the bleak mid-winter.

Serves 6 - 8 people.

Ingredients

Available from British Corner Shop

To be Sourced Locally

  • An apple (peeled and diced)
  • Fresh Coriander Leaves (chopped)
  • Salt and Black Pepper for seasoning
  • Crusty Bread to serve

Method

In a heavy based saucepan, add the onions, garlic, chilli, ginger and turmeric.

Once golden brown, add the dahl, stock, apple, coconut and tomatoes.

Season to taste and simmer for about 20 minutes (until the lentils are cooked).

Serve garnished with fresh coriander and alongside a good chunk of crusty bread.

Feel free to adjust the spices for a milder or spicier soup.

You could also use vegetable stock cubes instead of lamb if preferred.
