Etymology
The word 'mulligatawny' comes from the Tamil words 'milagu' (pepper) and 'taแนi' (water), which refer to the soup's peppery taste and watery consistency. It was introduced to British cuisine during the colonial period when British officials and soldiers stationed in India sought familiar dishes. Over time, mulligatawny evolved, incorporating local ingredients and flavors, and became popular back in Britain and other parts of the world. Variations of the soup often include chicken, lamb, or vegetables, combined with rice and curry spices. Today, mulligatawny is celebrated not only as an example of colonial fusion cuisine but also as a dish that showcases the adaptability and diversity of Indian cooking.
