Ingredients
- 1 cup pasta I used macroni pasta variety
- 100 grams chicken
- ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder
- 2 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped
- salt to taste
To roast & grind:
- 1 teaspoon oil
- ½ tablespoon coriander seeds
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 red chillies
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tomato roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon coconut
To temper:
- ½ tablespoon oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- few curry leaves
Instructions
- Boil water, add pasta along with ½ teaspoon oil, cook until pasta becomes soft yet crunchy enough to bite. Drain water and set the pasta aside. Heat a pan with oil roast the ingredients listed under 'to roast and grind'.
- Add coconut and tomato after the spices are roasted well, roast the mixture till golden brown and wait till raw smell of tomatoes leave, Switch and cool down. Then transfer it to a mixer.
- Grind it to a fine paste with little water. Heat oil in a pan - add items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter. Then add chicken pieces and sauté till color changes, then add the masala paste along with red chili and garam masala powders along with required salt. Sauté the masalas for 3 minutes.
- Then add ⅓ cup of water and cook covered till the chicken pieces becomes soft. Then let it boil till the sauce becomes slightly thick.
- Now add cooked pasta and toss it well. If it becomes very dry then sprinkle little water and then mix well for the sauce to coat well with the pasta. Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
- Serve hot!
Notes
- If you want add 1 big onion chopped finely and sauté after tempering.
- This is little spicy so adjust spice level according to your taste buds.
- Don't make the sauce too thick then it will be very dry and will not coat the pasta. The pasta with the masalas should be juicy and not dry.
- Cut chicken into small bite sized pieces so that it gets cooked faster and also the masalas easily blend with it.
- Cooking chicken along with the masalas gives a nice flavor and juiciness to the chicken and chicken flavor to the pasta.
- If you are cooking chicken separately then use chicken stock to cook pasta.
- I used macaroni pasta variety, you can choose your favorite.
