Directions
Mulligatawny Soup with Lentils, I love having this soup at my favorite Indian restaurants on 6th Street in NYC!, I cut this as when I went to my larder I just had enough lentils to make half the amount, I wish I had more as it is a great soup. Mine turned out more like a stew, it was very thick but I did like it like that. I think the amount of black mustard seeds sounds a lot but once the soup is made you will see that the amount is just fine, they give it that lovely nutty flavour when you let them pop, but I warn anyone who makes this to keep your pot lid handy or you will have mustard seeds everywhere. I have used them before so I had my lid close by me. The soup it’s self is so flavoursome, and is well worth the work putting it together, the smell when it’s cooking is amazing, I made it a bit healther by using low fat coconut milk and I didn’t think it needed any sugar. I even liked it before you put the milk in it has such a nice taste. This will become a family favourite as we love the taste of India. Thank you so much for posting. made for January warm up 2011
