For Week 2 day 3 of BM #47, here is an Indian version of Pasta which my older one liked.
I first tasted this pasta 10 years back at a friend's house. It used to be a great party dish around that time. It has been forgotten since then. When I was thinking about the theme for this week, I suddenly remembered this version and tried it out for my older one and she was impressed.
I am pretty happy at how the pictures turned out and so I shall link it to Varada's Blog Anniversary Event. For the past year or so I have been taking pictures with my Canon D3200 with the kit lens. I placed it on the floor near our patio door on a cloudy afternoon and set the ISO to 400.
Ingredients -
*Pasta (Any shape and size) 1 cup
Onions, chopped 1/2 cup
Ginger-Garlic Paste 1 tsp
Tomato Puree / Tomatoes 2 Tbsp
Mixed Vegetables (I used Corn, Beans, Carrots, Peas) 1 cup
Salt as needed
Green Chillies - Coriander leaves paste as needed
Garam Masala 1/4 tsp or as needed
Shredded Cheese 1/2 cup or more as needed
Cooking Oil 2 tsp
*I used a veggie pasta which has carrot and butternut squash
Method Of Preparation -
Boil the pasta as per the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
Cook the mixed vegetables separately and set aside.
In a separate pan, heat oil. Saute onion until they turn translucent. Add in the ginger-garlic paste. After a few seconds, add in the tomato puree or chopped tomatoes whichever is your preference.
After the tomatoes turn mushy, add in the mixed vegetables, green chilli-coriander leaves paste, salt, garam masala and cheese. Reduce the heat, mix well and add the cooked pasta.
Remove from heat and serve warm.
