Colourful Vegetable Masala Macaroni Recipe

Masala Macaroni has been a favorite dish at my house for ages. We normally prepare such recipes to clear out excess veggies from the fridge and also help us organize produce for upcoming weeks.

This dish pairs well with crunchy fried chicken, french fries or potato cheese balls. Perfect dish to prepare and take at potlucks, picnic or pack for school or office lunch box.

We can prepare the vegetable masala and macaroni separately and store it in a sir tight container refrigerated until use. Just before packing the lunch box or before serving we can reheat the veggies and mix the macaroni heat it and serve.

Ingredients:
450 Grams Macaroni
1/4 Cup Each Mixed Vegetables (Spinach, Cauliflower, Capsicum, Carrots, Peas, French Beans, Corn)
1/4 Cup Ketchup
5 Tbsp Chilly Sauce
1 Tbsp Garam Masala
1 Tbsp Chilly Powder
1 Tsp Turmeric Powder
1 1/2 Tbsp Ginger and Garlic Paste
1 Large Onion
1 Large Tomato
1 Cup Tomato Puree
3 Green Chilies
3 Dried Red Chilies
3 Sprigs Curry Leaves
1 Tsp Chilly Flakes
1 Tsp Mixed Italian Herbs
200 Grams Mixed Cheese ( Cheddar and Mozzarella )
3 Tbsp Ghee
2 Tbsp Oil
Salt as per Taste
Lime Juice. Coriander leaves for garnish...

Method:
For this recipe make sure to clean all the veggies and finely chop.

Pre cook the macaroni as per package directions, drain and reserve. Do not add oil while cooking macaroni as it will not absorb masala.

Heat a heavy bottom pressure cooker or wok on medium flame with ghee and oil.

Add the finely chopped onions, curry leaves, green chilies, ginger and garlic paste to the oil and fry till onion is transparent.

Break the dry red chilies into half and add to the onion fry for few minutes this enhances the flavor and taste.

Add the dried masala powders, tomato and tomato puree and fry until the tomato has softened.

Add ketchup and chili sauce and cook for few more minutes. Add all the prepped veggies and fry for a minute. I have reserved half the amount of capsicum and sweet corn to add later for added crunch.

Add 1 cup water and salt as per taste to the veggies stir well, cover and cook until the veggies are tender.

Once the veggies have cooked place on high flame to reduce the moisture a bit, the oil will surface on the sides, add the cooked macaroni toss well to coat. Add lime juice and mix well.

Just before serving garnish with easy melting cheese, coriander, italian seasoning and finely chopped coriander...Serve hot with fried chicken...Enjoy 😊
