Green Indian special Macaroni pasta.


Hi fellow blogger and followers if any. I won’t be talking about greenery and plantation. After all this is not the blog for social enlightenment. I am working on such a blog as well. I would present the same to you later on it.

In today’s world everyone is talking about green revolution and go green go veggie for good health. Go green for happy body and soul. May be in later stage of my life I would think of this preposition a well and that also strongly.

Due respect to veggie people. I am dedicating this dish to them as a mark of respect.

It all happened yesterday. I was supposed to take my wife to a parlor for a haircut. The plan was that I would take care of my 7 months old angel when my wife gets her hair cut done. As usual I couldn’t make it and my wife was all burning hot with anger. I tried all my charm but ……….

Inspired by Master Chef 2 I thought about cooking something unique and different to impress and vow her back. Sunday is marketing day we have a Sunday bazaar where I stay. I that bazaar we buy all our vegetables and grocery. Obviously we couldn’t even go shopping. My fridge was all empty.

Problem Problem Problem.

A day before we had bought Palak which was still unused. I had half a pack of macaroni. And then I had a brainstorming session and eureka I got an Idea. Idea gave birth to the Green Indian special macaroni/Pasta. My creation. It tasted good. Lets all make it.

Half a packet of sooji macaroni.

• 500 gms or as much as available Palak chopped.

• Indian massalas to taste, (garam masala, red pepper, Jeera powder, Dhaniya powder etc)

• Little Jeera

• Refined oil 2 spoon or as per taste

• Some onions based on the quantity of pasta

• Tomato’s chopped

• Little milk

Take the macaroni and wash it with oil such that the macaroni is covered with oil. This would prevent them from sticking to each other after boiling. You can sprinkle some salt to give it a slight flavor. I used my Godrej microwave oven at Hi heat for 10 minutes to boil the macaroni and it does the trick. You can boil it on gas for 20 min or so. Make sure it’s not over cooked or else it would break and would look non presentable. Drain out excess water.

In the mean time take a big pan and put 2 spoons of oil in it. I use my cooker as it is large. When the oil is hot put in the jeera and cook for some time. Add onion to it and keep on cooking in slow fire. The smell of the slightly cooked onion would tell you the time to add palak in the pan. Put in the palak and cook in slow fire for some time. The palak would become dark green and would start leaving water. Add all the Indian massalas at this time while continuing stirring. Within 2-3 minutes add boiled pasta and again keep cooking. Don’t forget to stir gently as if that’s your gf or bf and for married people I would suggest as if you’re newly married spouse.

Add some red chilly powder and later on the milk to give a consistency. Stir for some time. Put the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 10 min.

Dish is ready to serve. Garnish it with some dried bread chopped if you want. Your Green Indian special Macaroni pasta is ready.

Happy cooking.

Akkaila Indian macroni pasta

Delhi is totally different from Mumbai in almost all standards. I think i would adjust soon to the people and market hopefully. Guise hats off to Delhi sales staff they are .........

Jokes apart .

I am introducing Akaala (alone) pasts to you today.

There are times when you are alone and its 8.30 pm you plan to have pasta. you take up Domino's card and expect them to deliver the same to your house for dinner. Unfortunately the person on the other line say "Sorry sir the place you are put up is not assessable due to security reasons after 8.30 so we would not be able to delver the same". You feel really bad and still cant blame them for the answer as you are aware how the roads are and he wont be able to make it. Not because you are staying in a wrong place but in a wrong locality where the numbers are haphazardly laid out and you need minimum 40 min to find the right place. What you do now?

Akkaila (Alone) pasts comes to rescue.

You are a lucky guy/gal you have some

Penna pasta and

some macaroni in your house.

I would highlight some as when they are put together you might be able to eat some food.

In vegetables you have

3 capsicum,

1 half cabbage,

3 onions,

5 cloves of garlic,

2 potatoes,

half leater milk.

Luckily you like chines and you have

soya souse and

chili sause in home.

You are thinking what to do with all this. Something is better then nothing.

Boil the pasta in a microwave high for 12 min you can even boil the same too. make sure before the pasta is droped in water it should be covered in oil and mixed with salt to taste. Boiling begins.

cut the left over ingredient chop if possible i.e. cabbage, capsicum, onion, garlic, and potato(potato sounds alien in pasta but it would give mass to the food).

In the mean time after cutting you check your fridge and find some 3 or 4 pieces of left over chicken/paneer kabab. cut it into pieces and keep aside. Don't rush out to buy kababs, if its there use it or else let it be.(I had 3 pieces so I had used them, even nutres do the trick well).

take a big open pan (i used my cooker) and heat some oil in it. put garlic onion and potatoes; after some time capsicum and cabbage. add salt, sugar, all the massallas(Dhaniya jira garam masala etc etc) you have let it cook till it looks ready.

Drain the water out of the pasta and put it in the pan. let it cook for some time and keep on stirring. Don't cook it too much.

Add some soya souse for colour and flavour.

When your pasta starts smelling good pour in the milk slowly and stire softly or else you would break the pasta and macaroni. the milk vanishes after some time.

Put in the cut or shredded kababs in it. Stire for some time and serve with tomato sauce.

Your Akkaila Indian macaroni pasta is tayaar .

Who needs Dominos when you can make it in 30 min or so.

Enjoy and let me know how it was.
