How to Cook Mulligatawny Soup
- Most lentils nowadays are ready to use. But check the back of the packet. You may have to soak them in cold water overnight before using them. If so, soak, rinse, and drain. In preparation, peel and chop the onions- crush the garlic - core, seed, and chop the red pepper - skin, seed and chop the tomatoes.
- Heat the oil in a large pan, add the chopped onions and fry gently until browned. Stir in the curry powder and cook for two minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the crushed garlic, lentils, chopped red pepper, chicken stock, raisins, chopped tomatoes, and tomto puree. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 1½ hours
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Sieve or work in an electric blender until smooth. Return to the pan and heat through. Serve and enjoy.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
When served, stir in a spoonful of crème fraîche to each dish for a lovely creamy soup.
Reviews of Mulligatawny Soup
May 26 2020 Really tasty. I expected it to be too hot, but it wasn't. With one heaped tablespoon of curry powder, it was just enough to add the flavour without undue heat. A long time on the stove, but very, very easy to make. The family all loved it, so I'll be doing it again soon. Alexandria (4 reviews) |
