Spicy Macaroni Recipe / Indian Macaroni Recipe

Wow!! Officially this is my first recipe going on this blog. It is one of the weekend specials in our family!  Here it goes.....

Macaroni – Hot n Spicy

Preparation Time: 10-15 minutes

Serves:  3 moderate eaters

Ingredients:

300 gms/3 cups Macaroni

4 ½  cups water / 1 ½ measure for each cup of Macaroni

2 Onions chopped

2 Green chilies slit into 2

½ tsp Pepper Powder

½ tsp Garam Masala

1 Big Tomato

2 tbps Oil

Salt to taste

Cilantro / Coriander leaves for garnishing

Method:

Take a large pan.  Heat oil and add chopped onions and green chilies. Fry till onions become golden brown.  Add chopped Tomatoes and fry till it becomes soft.  You can add salt immediately after tomatoes so that it can become soft quickly.  Then add pepper powder and stir for few seconds.  Then add water and macaroni and cook for 2-3 minutes. If you want a soupy texture, add 2 tbps of any soup powder or corn startch dissolved in cold water at the time of adding water.   Simmer the stove and cook for 5 more minutes until the macaronis turn soft and the soup thickens a little.

Take off the stove, garnish with chopped coriander and serve Hot and spicy Macaroni.  You can also add two cubes of grated cheese for garnishing if you like cheesy flavour.  

While cooking this, I was wondering what to give my little one, because this dish was quite spicy to give it to a toddler.  Then I added some milk to the macaroni to tone down the spiciness.  My little one loved it and wanted more.  You can also add yogurt while eating which my hubby loves to do.   I am going to try cooking some healthy macaroni for the little one next time and will let you know how it turns out!!

Till then, Spread the good taste and stay healthy!
