Originating from the 18th century southern India, the spicy mulligatawny is a unique soup that has found its place in many culinary cultures around the world. It is thought to have originated in the Madras region of India and spread through the British Empire, eventually becoming a popular dish in many English-speaking countries. The name "mulligatawny" is derived from the Tamil words "milag" (pepper) and "tanni" (water), highlighting the soup's spicy and flavorful nature. This flavorful soup is a delightful blend of aromatic spices, creamy coconut milk, tangy tamarind, and a variety of vegetables. Its complexity and depth of flavor make it a favorite among those who enjoy a hearty and flavorful soup.

SPICY MULLIGATAWNY SOUP ( CHICKEN )
This is from Cooking Light. I love it but it is a bit spicy so to make it mild decrease the pepper flakes, use mild curry powder and use a mild chutney. Great over rice and with pita bread. If you make it spicy, it's wonderful with cucumber raita to cool it off!
