This IS a WONDERFUL SOUP. And look at the list, just a few ingredients! I came up with lots of GREAT ideas for the contest, but when I asked my friends what they liked best, they always mentioned this humble soup! How funny is that? The rum really makes a difference. It is added at the very end, so if you have kids at the table and you’re worried about it, just serve them first and add the rum later. You may want to leave it out altogether, but just let me tell you one more time that the RUM IS a LOVELY ADDITION. I use Patak’s curry paste which is available in Asian stores where I live. Madras is labelled as a hot paste and Korma as mild. I’ve also tried a Patak’s paste called HOT/TRES EPICE which I do NOT RECOMMEND.
I found this delicious recipe in the Margaret Fulton Cookbook. I didn’t have any mustard seeds, so subbed a teaspoon of English mustard; and subbed a teaspoon of curry powder for the garam masala. We had it with a Thai red prawn curry and steamed rice, but it is often served as a main dish for vegetarian meals. Edited 16 December to include salt and paprika in ingredients.
This is based on a Charmane Soloman recipe. It’s really important to be patient carrying out the initial frying. Altough the ingredients are simple, the initial frying provides the flavour. I serve this over rice, with fresh coriander to garnish.

This is a zesty potato salad that is a nice change of pace. It is great with a grilled steak! Recipe can be doubled and the seasonings can be adjusted to your taste.
