Indian style Pasta

Indian style pasta step-by-step recipe with photos.

The good old versatile pasta with an Indian twist – also famously known as Indian style pasta or masala pasta. Masala pasta is also a famous street food in India. I make this pasta with my favourite vegetables, and either paneer or chicken to add a nice depth (here I have used paneer). In this dish, I only use Indian spices and not Italian herbs like oregano.

We love pasta and it only makes perfect sense to cook pasta with the flavours we love the most. This dish is delicious, filling, and has the right amount of spices. A fiery pasta sauce combined with perfectly cooked penne, mellowed with vegetables and paneer (or chicken) is a dish you will want to come back to.

This dish can be altered as per your liking and preference. You may choose any pasta of your liking. You can replace the paneer with tofu and replace butter with olive oil to make it vegan. You may choose to alter the spice level depending on your preference. Top it with some cheese and bake it for a tasty pasta bake!

Super delicious and perfect for lunchboxes. Try this desi pasta and treat your tastebuds 🙂
