Pasta made with Indian spices and masala, to give it a desi Indian touch. Generally i make pasta for kids with Home made pasta Sauce , and being bored with the usual style i wanted to try a new version of pasta. My daughter Varsha came up with the idea of this Desi Masala pasta and i tried with a small batch of pasta last week for her and she enjoyed it a lot. Last weekend i made this for all of us and sharing the recipe of Indian style Masala pasta recipe here.
Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time:25 minutes Serves:2
INGREDIENTS:
| PASTA (ANY VARIETY) | 1 CUP |
| SAMBAR POWDER | 1 TSP |
| ONION | 1 |

- Add in the chopped veggies and add the sambar powder, salt ( just for the veggies), turmeric powder and the pavbhaji masala.
- Mix well and cook it for sometime , let the vegetables be crunchy and not over cooked.

- Add the cooked pasta to this. Before adding the pasta run the pasta in cold water in a colander. This is to get moisture to the pasta.
- Mix well and cook in a low flame for 3-4 minutes.
- Switch off the flame. Serve hot .
Note:
- You can add any veggies of your choice.
- Instead of sambar powder you can add pepper too.
- Whole spices can be tempered and ginger garlic paste can be added in the oil, in the beginning.
