Asparagus and Chicken Mulligatanni

Instructions

Mulligatanni is a perennial favourite amongst the Rafi's staff, but it is mainly associated with Christmas due to the way the peppery coconut sauce complements turkey and other white meat.

Inspired by Rasam, a thin soup from South India said to aid digestion, Mulligatanni was a dish invented during the time of the Raj. The etymology of the name is from the Tamil mi kutai; literally, Mulliga = pepper, tanni = water.

For a lighter, summer take on this winter favourite, try the method below!

  4. Garnish with lemon juice.
