Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pasta I used macroni pasta variety
- 100 gms chicken 1 – 12 bite sized pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
- 2 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped
- salt to taste
To roast & grind:
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1/2 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 red chillies
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tomato roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon coconut
To temper:
- 1/2 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- few curry leaves
Instructions
- Boil water, add pasta along with 1/2 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 off 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 saute till color changes, then add the masala paste along with red chilli and garam masala powders along with required salt.
- Saute the masalas for 3mins.
- Then add 1/3 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 saute 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 flavour and juiciness to the chicken and chicken flavour to the pasta.
- If you are cooking chicken separately then use chicken stock to cook pasta.
- I used macroni pasta variety, you can choose your favourite.
