Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil Pasta
In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of oil to the boiling water. Add 200g of macaroni pasta and boil for 10 minutes until al dente.
Step 2: Drain and Rinse Pasta
Once boiled, drain the pasta using a colander. Rinse the pasta thoroughly with cold water to prevent it from sticking together.
Step 3: Sauté Aromatics
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon each of chopped ginger, garlic, green chilies, and 5-6 curry leaves. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Cook Vegetables
Add 1 medium chopped tomato and 1 medium chopped capsicum to the pan. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Step 5: Add Spices and Seasoning
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder. Mix all the spices thoroughly with the vegetables. Then, add 1 packet (7g) of Maggi Masala and mix again.
Step 6: Incorporate Fresh Herbs and Ketchup
Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped coriander leaves. Add 2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup and mix well to combine all the flavors.
Step 7: Combine with Pasta
Add the boiled and rinsed pasta to the pan with the vegetable mixture. Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8: Final Touches and Serve
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of oregano seasoning over the pasta. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the dish. Serve the hot pasta in a plate and grate 2 tablespoons of cheese on top before serving.
