Spicy Vegetable Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups rotini pasta (you can use whole-wheat pasta if you want)
• 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup carrots, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 cup bell-pepper, cut into small cubes
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
• 1/2 tsp pav-bhaji masala powder or garam masala (available in Indian grocery stores)
• 1/4 tsp red chilli powder (optional)
• 3 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp cilantro (coriander leaves)
• Salt to taste

Preparation

1. In a large saucepan, bring about 6 cups of water to boil (or follow the package directions for cooking the pasta). Add a little salt if you want and add the pasta.
   
   
2. Boil the pasta until it's almost cooked (al dente); should be soft but still a little chewy. Drain and cool the pasta.
   
   
3. Heat oil in a skillet. Add the cumin seeds and fry until browned.
   
   
4. Add the onions and saute on medium heat for 2 minutes. Then add the bell-pepper and carrot with some salt and saute until the vegetables are tender.
   
   
5. Add the pav-bhaji masala and red chilli powder and fry for 2-3 minutes.
   
   
6. Add the pasta and mix well and cook for a couple minutes.
   
   
7. Garnish the spicy vegetable pasta with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
