Which of these is a national soup of India? (It is also the national soup of another country)
-
Sambhar
-
Cock-a-Leckie
-
Potage Minnestroni
-
Mulligatawny
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Mulligatawny soup originated from Tamil cuisine - the name comes from milagu thanni meaning pepper water. It became popular in British India and spread to England, where it's considered a national soup. Some sources also list it as a national soup of Sri Lanka due to shared culinary heritage. Unlike sambhar (a South Indian staple), mulligatawny has this distinctive dual-national status.
