**Due to some terrible weather in southern India, (cyclones, monsoons, flooding) we have had to re arrange our plans to stay in northern India.**

By the time you read this beauty Raj and I will probably BE in South India!!! How exciting is that? Well, exciting for us anyways. Have you been checking out or social media for photos and updates? Instagram is likely the best way to see what we are up to!

Some Of The Best Recipes Are Out Of The Blue.

It is really just a happy coincidence that this dish is south Indian inspired. The reality was as we were cleaning out the fridge and cupboard in anticipation of our India trip, we happened to have so much garam masala, apples (it was apple season), and chicken. With a couple of pantry staples like onions and coconut milk, dinner was made!

Back in my waitressing days, I worked with a chef that used to make the best soups and this sweet apple with a touch of spice mulligatawny was my all-time favorite. To this day I wonder where or if she is still cooking, I would travel to find that soup! But now I have re-created this recipe, it has satisfied my craving.

I will definitely be searching for some authentic mulligatawny soup while in south India!
