MASALA PASTA WITH BELL PEPPERS

This is sort of a fusion dish. I have given the pasta an Indian touch like I always prepare the Maggi noodles trying out with different masalas and veggies to suit my taste
buds.

Method:
1. Boil the pasta adding a little salt and oil. Drain and run cold water. Add a little oil to avoid sticking. Set aside.
2. Slice the onion, tomato and capsicums into long strips.
3. Heat oil in a wok and saute the garlic. Add onions and fry for a couple of minutes.
4.Tip in the capsicums, tomato and all the spice powders. Check the salt. saute and simmer for a minute until the capsicums are cooked. Keep them crunchy and do not over-cook.
