Lolli’s Friday Feast — Week Four

Warm up with Week Four of Lolli's Friday Feast — a rich Mulligatawny soup, a fragrant Bengal curry dip, and a spiced gin pairing. Cosy, aromatic winter comfort.

Week Four of Lolli's Friday Feast leans into deep, warming spice — the kind that feels both nostalgic and bold. Our Mulligatawny Soup Mix brings aromatic curry notes, lentils, and gentle warmth, while the Social Eats Bengal Curry Dip Mix adds a creamy, fragrant side that lifts every spoonful. To finish, Botanik Spice Dry Gin delivers a warm, spiced pairing that echoes the soup's flavour profile without overpowering it.

This is a beautifully balanced winter feast: aromatic, cosy, and full of character.

Bengal Curry Dip Mix — Creamy Side Dip

A fragrant, curry-spiced dip that pairs perfectly with Mulligatawny's warm, aromatic broth.

Method:

  1. Mix 1 tbsp Social Eats Bengal Curry Dip Mix with 1 cup sour cream or Greek yoghurt.
  2. Let sit for 15 minutes to rehydrate.
  3. Serve on the side with naan or flatbread, or spoon lightly over the soup.

Drink Pairing: Botanik Spice Dry Gin & Tonic

Aromatic spice meets crisp refreshment — the perfect match for Mulligatawny's aromatic curry notes.

Why Spice Dry Gin works:

  • Echoes the soup's warm spice without adding sweetness
  • Tonic keeps the drink bright and refreshing
  • Cuts through the soup's richness
  • Enhances the curry aromatics rather than competing with them

Method:

  1. Fill a glass with ice.
  2. Add 30–45 ml Botanik Spice Dry Gin.
  3. Top with tonic.
  4. Garnish with a slice of apple.
