Ingredients

  • 1/2 a pack of organic wheat pasta we like using the spiral shaped germelli pasta
  • 1 lb organic boneless chicken, cubed into tiny nuggets or cut into shreds
  • 2 medium size onions sliced fine
  • 1 finely chopped tomato big
  • 1 serrano pepper optional
  • 2 tsp ginger and garlic paste or use freshly ground garlic and ginger
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala if you don't have this, improvise by taking 1" cinnamon stick, 2 cardamon pods, 2 cloves and grind them till they're finally powdered and use this instead
  • 2 cups fresh organic veggies (corn, carrots, beans, cauliflower, green peppers, kale, spinach, chard)
  • 2 tbsp organic tomato ketchup
  • Freshly ground black pepper to season
  • Salt to season
  • Freshly squeezed lemon juice from 1 lemon optional
  • Olive oil to saute

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta till it's al dente and set it aside.
  2. In a pan, add 2-3 tbsps of oil and throw in the onions to saute till golden brown
  3. Add the serrano peppers (if using the same) and the chopped tomato and saute till the tomato pieces get pulped.
  4. Add the paprika, coriander, cumin, garam masala, pepper and salt, Fry for a minute or so.
  5. Add to this the raw chicken nuggets/shreds and leave till cooked.
  6. Now add the tomato ketchup, mix well and then add all the veggies. (Since I had all my veggies frozen prior, it didn't take long to cook.. )
  7. Saute till the veggies are slight cooked and still crunchy/crispy.
  8. Set aside and season finally with any additional salt, pepper and/or lemon juice.
