Mulligatawny soup is not a true Indian dish. Instead it is a recipe that has emerged from a fusion of British and Indian flavors.

The word mulligatawny originates from the Indian Tamil language and means “pepper water.” I was first introduced to this dish while watching the television show Seinfeld where the “soup nazi” character selectively served his mulligatawny soup to customers he felt deserved it.
This soup is made with yellow lentils dhuli moong dal in Hindi and I like to add peas and potatoes to it. This warm and filling soup gets its rich consistency from the heavy cream which also makes this soup a hearty comforting dish to enjoy during cold weather!
Enjoy this soup as a starter with your main course or eat it on its own for a light yet filling meal.
