A FEW FINAL THOUGHTS

These thoughts are also available in the recipe card so that you can print them:

• Substitutions: You can make this recipe with the sesame oil. Because sesame oil is a healthy option. If you want to make it gluten-free, replace the plain flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour.
• Quality: Use good-quality branded soya chucks. Use mini soya chunks for the reason that it’s flavor soaked right till the center.

Masala Macaroni | Desi Pasta Recipe | How to make Spicy Masala Pasta – This instant Desi Pasta is a recipe that gives us an instant snack or something mouthwatering and filling. It can be made with the ingredients that Indians have in their homes.

Tips

1.Macaroni:I have used Macaroni Pasta. You could use Penne Pasta or any other Pasta. Macaroni should be cooked to 90% and cooled. The rest will get cooked in the spices.

2.Vegetables: If you like you could add coloured Capsicum, Sweet Corn, Mushrooms, grated Paneer etc. I have used frozen peas so I have added the Peas after the Macaroni. If you are using fresh Green Peas, then add them after the Onions are cooked. And add Tomato only after the Peas are cooked. The rest of the recipe is the same.

3.Sauces:I have not used any Sauce but made a tasty Macaroni. In case you have them handy, you could use Tomato Ketchup, Pizza Sauce and Chilli Flakes.
