Notes

  • Pasta - I used penne pasta variety, you can choose your favourite. Macroni, fusilli will work too.
  • Onion - If you want add 1 big onion chopped finely and sauté after adding garlic.
  • Spice level - This is little spicy so adjust spice level according to your taste buds.
  • Sauce - 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.
  • Chicken - 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 sauce gives a nice flavor and juiciness to the chicken and chicken flavor to the pasta.
  • Stock - If you are cooking chicken separately without any spices then use chicken stock to cook pasta.
