Mulligatawny
This noun refers to a rich soup usually of chicken stock seasoned with curry.
Origin:
The word, said to have been used first in the 18th Century, has an interesting origin. It is an anglicised version of the Tamil words milagu (pepper) and thanni (water), which were used to prepare soup. The soup, and as a consequence the word mulligatawny, became popular during the British rule.
Example:
Our family’s jealously guarded recipe of mulligatawny includes a generous portion of roasted cumin.
