Mulligatawny Soup ( Chicken ) image

I am not sure if I should list this under Indian, or English foods since it was a creation by English folks who found themselves in India. I found this in one of my cookbooks. Since I make my meal plans off of RecipeZaar exclusively I have not been using the cookbook. I figured I would put a few here so I can use them. The cookbook is "Red Hot" the ingredients list and directions have been slightly altered. This book was written in the UK I changed things a little to be clearer to me and other US readers. If you would like different measurements let me know, the book has things in metric and imperial measures also.

4 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 lbs chicken pieces, skin on
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped

1 tablespoon curry powder, to taste

  • Add chopped onion, carrot and turnip to the frying pan and cook, stirring occasionally until they are lightly browned. Add the curry powder, cloves and black peppercorns and cook for 1-2 minutes before adding the lentils.

  • The recipe suggests using red lentils for a nice color but states you can also use green or brown ones.

Not a fan. The soup was too spicy for my taste and the chicken was overcooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This soup was just okay. I found the flavors to be a bit bland and the chicken was a little dry. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I also liked the addition of the apple and raisins, which gave the soup a bit of sweetness. I would definitely make this
