Oh wow! I just saw an Indian recipe for macaroni fritters! A chickpea flour dough, quite spicy with chillies, ginger, coriander leaves etc and cheese. This is mixed with cooked macaroni and deep fried! 👀

Ok, I am not making that 😭 but I do have macaroni to use up. India has adopted pasta in the last few years and with abandon. So I think I am making a macaroni, peas and tomato curry.

@LifeTimeCooking @Unixbigot I saw online the Indian approach to pasta and it was quite eye opening

@morebento @Unixbigot Generally pasta is cooked to way past al dente in India, but it works with their uses of it.

@LifeTimeCooking @Unixbigot I have to tell you. I made channa masala from scratch the other day and took leftovers into work for my lunch. One of the Indian ladies I work with asked about it and I asked if she’d like to try some - she said she could not tell it had been made by a non-Indian! I was so happy 😁

@morebento @Unixbigot FAN-tastic! Well done 👏 🎖️ Understandably you were very happy.

Which chana masala did you make? From a book or on the internet?

@LifeTimeCooking I woke up a few days ago thinking 'gnocchi tikka masala' - how bad could it be?

@MarkAsser @LifeTimeCooking our eldest son doesn't eat rice or pasta and we started doing gnocchi for him instead of chips all the time when we have them. it works.
