About Masala Macaroni

As I have told many times, I am not fond of pasta but can have it once in a while. Among the pasta dishes I make, I like red sauce pasta and this desi style pasta. the most. I somehow like the mini pasta varieties than the bigger ones.
You can use mini macaroni as I have used for the best tasting desi pasta. This dish is an Indian - Italian fusion, where macaroni gets an Indian twist. I would always cook pasta a bit soft and not al dente mainly because of kids sake. It has a soft and chewy texture which makes it absorb the masala well.
Once when I was bored to make the regular creamy macaroni, white sauce pasta I tried this desi style pasta dish and all of us loved it so now this has become my go to recipe.
