A thick, spicy soup that British cooks first learned in India. The name comes from Tamil words that mean “pepper water”, though actually the soup on an English menu is usually much richer than pepper water: it tastes of curry, and it often has chicken in it, and sometimes rice or too. You will meet it in old British books and in old-style curry restaurants more than in everyday home cooking. It is a food name, not slang, and it feels a little old-fashioned now. People in Taiwan almost never cook it at home; if a restaurant serves it, the menu often keeps the English name.
穆里加托尼湯（印式咖哩湯）。台灣少見，菜單上多直接寫英文；有人寫「馬來加湯」，但跟馬來西亞無關。
組成Borrowed from Tamil miḷakuttaṇṇīr, literally “pepper water”.
