What made the peppery Mulligatawny soup a favourite of the British soldiers in India

I was in Kolkata recently and stayed in the new and very different hotel, Raajkutir. It is in a complex known as Swabhumi near Salt Lake so, a suburb of sorts and nowhere near the grand colonial buildings of Chowringhee and Dalhousie Square.

Mulligatawny means ‘pepper water’, and curry powder is the main ingredient that gives this soup its flavour

Raajkutir, a luxury hotel in Kolkata, looks like a mini-palace straight out of 18 century Calcutta

The recipes at East India Room are inspired from the kitchens of local zamindars before Independence
