BREAST BONE PEPPER WATER

Breast Bone Pepper Water is an old Anglo-Indian favourite. It actually morphed from the Mulligatawny Soup of the early days. Breast Bone Pepper Water is ideal for a rainy day.
Eaten with White Steamed Rice and Coconut Chutney, or just have it as a soup, it will take you to Culinary Heaven.
