“The soup was delicious. Me and my mulligatawny are going to be friends for years to come….The soup itself is served in bowls over some cooked rice. If you are in the mood for more of a curry than a soup, use more rice. If you are in the mood for soupy, then add just a bit of rice. Each person can customize their own—and you know, on-the-spot soup customization options are hard to come by.”

This is a staple dish in India where I grew up, and something you could cook any time of the year since it doesn’t need too many ingredients. It’s just as tasty as the more complicated versions that you can find in recipe books. I eat this with roti, brown rice, or make it more watery for a tasty soup. The advantage to having this outside India is that you don’t have to watch out for the occasional small stone mixed in with the lentils :)
- nigella
- ground turmeric
- cumin seeds

Bluefinger say – little bit bland, but a good basis. Try chop chillies, add fennel, nutmeg etc for more flavour. Bit less ghee.
