Try Something New and Different!

Mulligatawny is an Indian soup. It was probably the first Indian dish to go global! The name ‘Mulligatawny’ is a transliteration. It is derived from the Tamil language which literally means black pepper water. It essentially consists of tamarind water seasoned with ground spices like turmeric, pepper, and cumin. The pepper and tamarind combination gives the soup a hot and soothing taste. Mulligatawny has some medicinal qualities to its credit too:

· Tamarind aids in digestion.

· Turmeric is known for its numerous health benefits that include, according to the devoted fans of the spice, preventing certain types of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

· Pepper relieves many of the symptoms of cold and congestion. It also soothes a sore throat.

Here’s a great recipe for this classic soup:

From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.
