MULLIGATAWNY (INDIAN) SOUP ( BEEF )



Mulligatawny (Indian) Soup ( Beef ) image

This was my favourite soup from the Bell Canada cafeteria; many years later, I found the recipe in a Soup & Starter cookbook! Its a good way to use up leftover roast beef (or lamb). If I don't have dripping on hand, I broil some bacon, use the bacon fat & eat the bacon!!

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and tools you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good quality beef stock.
  • Brown the Beef: Browning the beef adds flavor and depth to the soup. Be sure to brown the beef in batches so that it doesn't crowd the pan and steam instead of browning.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables helps to caramelize them and bring out their sweetness. Be sure to cook the vegetables until they are soft but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a Good Quality Curry Powder: The curry powder is one of the most important ingredients in this soup. Choose a curry powder that is fresh and has a good balance of spices.
  • Add the Coconut Milk: Coconut milk adds a creamy and rich flavor to the soup. Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best results.
  • Simmer the Soup: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld and develop. Be sure to simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Serve with Rice or Naan: Mulligatawny soup is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with a side of yogurt or chutney.

Conclusion:

Mulligatawny soup is a delicious and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be made with a variety of different ingredients. If you are looking for a new soup to try, I highly recommend mulligatawny soup.
