" Mulligatawny " comes from the word "Millagu Tunni" which means in
Tamil Pepper Water, British couldn't pronounce that and hence comes
"Mulligatawny". This is the same as what we call "Rasam". So if you
are interested in tasting authentic flavor, check out a Indian Store
and buy "Rasam Powder" which is pretty good usually.
