Ingredients

200 grams Pasta Macaroni (1 packet)

150 grams Chicken Boneless (Small cubes)

1 tbsp Cooking Oil (for boiling) + 1 tbsp (for cooking)

1 tbsp Ginger and Garlic paste

1 cup Onion (Cube cutting)

1 cup Tomatoes (Cube cutting)

1/2 to 1 tbsp Salt (to taste)

1 tbsp Red Chili Powder

1/2 tbsp Black Pepper Powder

1/2 cup Tomato Ketchup

1/2 cup Capsicum (Chopped)

1/2 cup Carrot (Chopped)

1/2 cup Peas (Boiled)

1/4 cup Spring Onions (Chopped)

1.5 tbsp Soya Sauce

1 tbsp Red Chili Sauce

Water as required

Method

Step 1: Boil the Macaroni Boil water in a large pot and add salt. Once the water starts boiling, add 200g of macaroni and 1 tbsp of oil. Boil for 5 to 8 minutes until the macaroni is tender, then drain the water.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil. Add the ginger and garlic paste and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3: Fry Onions and Chicken Add 1 cup of cubed onions and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Then, add the boneless chicken cubes and fry for another 3 minutes until the chicken changes color.

Step 4: Prepare the Base Add 1 cup of cubed tomatoes and salt. Mix well for a minute. Add a quarter cup of water, cover the pan, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the chicken is tender.

Step 5: Add Spices and Ketchup Add red chili powder and black pepper powder. Mix well for 2 minutes. Then, stir in the tomato ketchup and mix for another 2 minutes.

Step 6: Incorporate Vegetables Add the chopped capsicum, carrots, and peas. Mix well for 2 to 3 minutes to let the vegetables absorb the flavors while keeping them slightly crunchy.

Step 7: Season with Sauces Add spring onions, soya sauce, and red chili sauce. Mix for one minute on medium heat.

Step 8: Final Toss Add the boiled macaroni to the pan. Toss and mix everything thoroughly for 1 to 2 minutes so the sauce coats the pasta perfectly. Serve hot!

Notes

Macaroni Tip: Adding oil while boiling the macaroni prevents the pasta pieces from sticking to each other.

Veggie Crunch: Do not overcook the vegetables; they should remain slightly crunchy for the best texture.

Spice Level: You can adjust the red chili sauce and black pepper according to your spice preference.
