Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 cup macaroni (approximately 250g (I use mini macaroni))
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4–5 cup water (for boiling)
- 2 tablespoon cooking oil (any neutral oil)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1.5 tablespoon garlic ((4–5 large garlic cloves), finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes (adjust to taste )
- 1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper (finely chopped)
- 1/2 cup tomato (finely chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1/3 cup tomato ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
- 1 – Boil Macaroni
– Add water to a pot and bring to a rolling boil. Salt the water and add macaroni to it. Stir for 30 seconds (this makes sure that pasta won’t stick). Cook for 6-8 minutes or until al dente. Don’t let it become too soft.
– Do check the pasta package for accurate cooking times. Drain and set the pasta aside. You can massage with a teaspoon of oil to avoid sticking while you work on the sauce. - 2 – Make The Masala Macaroni Sauce
– Set a wide pan or kadai on medium high stove. Add oil and butter.
– Once butter melts, add garlic and chilli flakes. Fry for 10-15 seconds taking care that garlic does not burn.
– Next add the onion and bell pepper together and fry together for 1-2 minutes. Don’t let the onion brown too much. Also make sure that the bell pepper doesn’t discolor.
– Add chopped tomatoes next along with oregano and black pepper. Also add the salt and sugar (if using).
Note: You can skip the sugar if you want. We are going to add ketchup later and that will give a sweet hint.
– Saute the tomatoes till they are little soft. Don’t let tomatoes dry out too much.
РNext add the ketchup along with garam masala. Saut̩ and let cook for 30-40 seconds.
РNext add the cooked macaroni and toss very well with the masala. Keep saut̩ing for good couple minutes.
– Finish with lemon juice and chopped cilantro.
