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.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

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.

MULLIGATAWNY



Mulligatawny image

A sweet and spicy, British-born soup that features a heavy Indian influence with ingredients like coconut milk, lentils, and curries. There are about a million varieties, but I prefer the smoother, soupier versions than the more rustic, chunkier stews. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro and drizzle with heavy cream.

Provided by Brian Genest

Time 2h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

3 tablespoons coconut oil
4 medium carrots, diced
1 medium Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
4 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups cooked rice

Steps:

  • Rub chicken breasts with chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Place in a baking dish and let rest for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and coarsely shred with 2 forks; set aside.
  • Pour coconut oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat. Add carrots, apple, onion, and celery. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, then add in garlic and ginger. Cook 1 minute more.
