Mulligatawny Soup - British/Anglo Indian hearty meal

This soup is interesting to research, it's not technically an Indian recipe, however it was invented by an Englishman to replicate the Indian flavours. Today, this is very popular with Anglo Indian community. This is loosely translated to 'Pepper Water' in Tamil. This British adaptation of a south Indian Rasam or Pepper Water can be traced back to 1784 in cookbooks and other documentation. I've never met a recipe that has so many variations in texture and ingredients. I've tried to replicate this using south Indian flavours. Some recipes call for this to be blended, but I prefer my soup to be somewhat clear with a myriad of textures and flavours - try it you wont be disappointed.
