The original recipe for Mulligatawny was really more of a rich, runny stew made with peppers, cumin, coriander seeds and sometimes lamb, goat or chicken. It was accompanied by rice, relishes and chutneys and often thickened with lentils. (Raffles Hotel in Singapore uses oatmeal to thicken its version of mulligatawny.) My version of the Anglo/Indian classic. Serve with boiled basmati rice.
