Double chicken macaroni is a quick and easy fix meal on a busy day. This dish is an excellent option for lunch box, potluck or for picnics. I have avoided adding cheese to this recipe it can be added or left out. In my opinion tastes good without cheese.
FYI, I dont have to pack lunch or go on picnics when I like to fix such meals is after a long grocery shopping day or when I'm very busy on deep cleaning my house. Such recipes are handy, saves a lot of effort and time. Since macaroni is whole wheat I am happy my diabetic parents can also enjoy this meal without guilt.

Method:
Heat a pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium flame. Add the ginger and garlic paste fry for 30 to 40 seconds or until the raw flavor reduces.
Add onions, tomato and chillies and fry until onion turns transparent the juice from the tomato will soften the onions.
Once onion softens add chilly powder, tomato soup powder, coriander powder, garam masala, paprika and chilly powder fry until raw flavor reduces.
Add the chicken and sausages along with peas and capsicum fry until chicken starts to release moisture place on low flame allow to cook. Do not add salt allow the chicken to cook and all ingredients to wilt a bit before adding salt as per taste.
If the chicken meat is lean there wont be much moisture add 1/4 cup water to cook all the ingredients. Once all the ingredients have cook and the chicken is fork tender add salt as per taste stir and place on high flame allow excess moisture to evaporate.
