Steps:
- In a large saucepan, heat the oil until bubbling.
- Saute the onion, garlic and curry powder in the heated oil, and season with salt & pepper to taste. Continue cooking until the onion turns a little translucent.
- Mix in carrot, celery, chilis, and apple. Taste and test if you need to add any more salt and pepper.
- Cook on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring consistently, until the vegetables soften.
- Sprinkle the flour over the freshly-cooked mixture, and stir well until the flour is worked in and no white is shown.
- Stir in the broth, a few ounces at a time, then add tomatoes and all tomato liquid (do not discard).
- Add parsley, lemon juice, cloves, sugar, and bring to a boil.
- Once it reaches a boil, bring down to simmer and add the chicken.
- Stir every 15-20 minutes, and allow cooking between 90 minutes and four hours. The lower the temperature will require a longer cooking time.
- Serve with warm naan bread.
VEGETABLE MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
The Tamil words milagu tannir mean "pepper-water," so it is not surprising this vegetable soup has a peppery bite. You can add 4 tablespoons of red lentils, if you so desire. The soup is fairly thick but may be thinned out with as much stock as you wish. In its thick version, it makes a very good sauce for hard-boiled eggs. Serve as a first course or a light meal with crusty bread, fried croutons or plain rice. Offer lime wedges on the side.

Steps:
- Put the peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds in a small cast-iron frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Stir and roast until the spices emit a roasted aroma and some turn a shade darker. Empty into a plate to cool, then grind in a clean coffee grinder or other spice grinder. (It is a good idea to sift the ground spices through a fine sieve, stirring them about with a spoon as they pass slowly through the mesh. This is not absolutely necessary, but it makes for a finer soup.) Add the turmeric and cayenne to the spice mixture.
- Put the chickpea flour in a bowl. Slowly add 2 tablespoons of the stock, mixing as you go. Add another 4 cups of stock and mix.
- Combine the chickpea flour mixture, spices, all the vegetables, the curry leaves, garlic, onion, and ginger in a large pan and bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat down to low, and simmer for about 50 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender. Blend the soup in a blender in several batches, if necessary, and then press through a coarse sieve. Return the soup to the soup pan, add the coconut milk and salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes to blend the flavors; thin out with more stock, as needed. Serve hot with lime wedges.

Mulligatawny is a lemon & black pepper flavored lentil Indian soup. This recipe is an adaptation of several different adaptations of Madhur Jaffrey's recipe. I like it very lemony so I usually add more lemon juice to my individual bowl afterwards!
