MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Mulligatawny Soup image

This soup is a British-Indian cuisine hybrid, the result of colonizers' encounters with rasam - a spiced, soupy dish often enriched with lentils, sometimes served over rice - from Tamil Nadu, a region in southern India. "Milagu tannir," which means pepper water, was how Tamil people described some versions of rasam; it morphed into mulligatawny when the British made it thick, chunky and meaty. In the cookbook "Classic Indian Cooking," the author Julie Sahni wrote that she fell in love with mulligatawny when she first encountered it in Germany. "The present version bears no resemblance whatever to the traditional rasam," she said, adding, "Because of its unorthodox origin, Indian cooks have had a field day exercising their creative genius with it." This version is thickened with a roux, masoor dal and coconut milk, and bolstered with chicken thighs and tart apple. Curry powder is not a traditional Indian ingredient, but it reflects the dish's British influence.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 red or yellow onion, minced
Salt
8 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
2 tablespoons minced ginger (from about 2 inches of peeled ginger root)
2 teaspoons black or brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 large apple, preferably Granny Smith, peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized chunks
1 cup masoor dal (split red lentils)
6 cups chicken broth or stock
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
Juice of 1 lime (about 1½ tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and shrunken, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add the mustard seeds, turmeric, curry powder, cayenne and cumin seeds, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mustard seeds pop and sizzle, about 90 seconds. Add the carrot, celery and apple, and cook, stirring, until just starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then the flour, and cook, stirring well, to uniformly coat all the ingredients, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, masoor dal and chicken broth. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.
  • Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, then uncover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes more, until the chicken and carrots are tender, the soup is creamy, and the flavors have blended.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and squeeze in the lime juice. Serve in bowls topped with a dusting of cayenne, if desired.

SLOW-COOKER MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Slow-Cooker Mulligatawny Soup image

This soup is the result of British colonizers' encounters with rasam, a souplike dish from Tamil Nadu, a region in southern India, that's often made with lentils. "Milagu tannir," or pepper water, evolved into mulligatawny when the British made it thick, chunky and meaty. In her book "From Curries to Kabobs," the author Madhur Jaffrey wrote that mulligatawny was "an essential part of my childhood," as she ate it at the homes of Anglo-Indian friends and in hotels on vacation. Mulligatawny now bears no resemblance to rasam and has many variations; it is a dish that was invented and modified for colonizers' palates, and thus it has few rules. Ms. Jaffrey noted that "some curry powder has to be included for a true East-West flavor," as curry powder is more British than Indian. This slow-cooker version is thickened with masoor dal and coconut cream, and enriched with chicken thighs and tart apple.

Time 6h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 large apple, preferably Granny Smith, peeled, cored and chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size chunks
1 cup masoor dal (split red lentils)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons minced ginger (from about 2 inches of peeled ginger)
2 teaspoons black or brown mustard seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 cups chicken broth or stock
1 (5-ounce) can coconut cream (about ⅔ cup)
Juice of 1 lime (about 1½ tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients except the coconut cream and lime juice in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
  • Stir in the coconut cream and lime juice. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with a dusting of cayenne, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to make the soup. This will help to prevent the soup from burning.
  • Brown the chicken or lamb before adding it to the soup. This will help to develop flavor.
  • Add the spices to the soup pot along with the chicken or lamb. This will allow the spices to bloom and release their flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the soup. This will add flavor, color, and texture.
  • Add a cup of yogurt or coconut milk to the soup just before serving. This will add richness and creaminess.
  • Serve the soup with a side of rice or naan bread.

Conclusion:

Mulligatawny soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken or lamb, and it is also a good source of protein, vegetables, and spices. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a party, mulligatawny soup is sure to please.
