Indian Style Macaroni

Do you know that cauliflower is not indigenous to India?  I was really surprised to know that my very own gobi was actually introduced in India through the British, in the late 1800s. And I thought my Indian relation with gobi was since the ancient times! However, with this I realize how as Indians we can embrace food in our own personal way. So I am going to Indianize a core Italian dish, macaroni (I won’t be using cauliflower today though).

Macaroni is a type of tube shaped pasta that is traditionally made with durum wheat, cultivated in Europe. It is a major staple in Italian cuisine. I admit the first time I heard about Macaroni was in the mid 90s, when Maggi introduced it. I even remember the jingle “maggi macaroni tum roz baby khana”J. Nowadays, it’s available by the name of Maggi Pazzta. Today, however, I am using regular macaroni, since I want cook a completely copyrighted dish.

This dish which I am sharing today is not only one of the easiest to make, with no prep work or expertise required, it is also a comfort vegetarian food. It is fit for a light evening snack, or a dieting supplement for the health conscious. There have been multiple occasions when I wanted to maintain a diet, not for weight management or anything, but just for general fitness. Vegetable macaroni was one of my go-to foods. It was also in for occasions of fever or cold, when you are so bored with soups and stews, this recipe can be of aid, being something wholesome and spicy; the right blend is delivered by this dish.

This is a basic dish, and you can just cook up your favorite style, be it Italian, Mexican or Indian. Although the vegetables I am using today is not really the conventional pumpkin, cauliflower and bottle guard; but, bell peppers and French beans. I know that they are more Westernized veggies; I am using them because I like them. You can always use your favorite veggies. However, the type of dish it is, bottle guard and pumpkin won’t suit with it. You need fibrous veggies like cabbage and beetroot go well though. I am using red chili powder to add some zing to the dish; you can always chuck that, or if you like it more peppery, use black pepper. Keep the vegetables crunchy, avoid overcooking them.

    Hey there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same outcome.
