Breakfast Series: Curried Macaroni Recipe

In southindia by default many of our breakfast dishes are vegan and dairy free, mostly rice based dishes. I wanted to create something different which was dairy free and vegan for this breakfast series and one thing I noticed while coming up with this recipe was, spicy curries we southindians enjoy to the core from breakfast to dinner. Curry is always served with fluffy puris, set dosas and even bread toast. I tried to incorporate the curry flavor and taste in this dish, which turned out excellent.
