Pineapple Masala Noodles

 

Hub wasnt coming home for lunch, and I was wondering what to cook for myself. Left to myself, Im quite lazy to cook, so I wanted to make something simple. So I put together some spaghetti, mushrooms, and frozen veggies, added some Indian Masala and had some Noodles for lunch.

Later in the day, I was biting through some juicy pineapple and wondered how it would be to marry the spaghetti with pineapple. I tried, and they clicked! Happy happy!

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

1 cup Boiled Noodles (I used Spaghetti)

1/2 cup Pineapple juice

1 tbsp Oil for cooking

1/2 Onion - sliced thin and long

1 tomato - sliced long

1 cup Mixed Veggies (I used frozen veggies, but if you have fresh veggies, please please use them!)

1 cup Mushrooms (You can omit them if you don't like them)

1 tbsp Coriander Powder (Dhaniya)

1 tbsp Cumin Powder (Jeera)

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Dry Mango powder (amchur)

Method

1. Soak the boiled noodles in pineapple juice for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan, and add onions.
3. After the onions have browned a bit, add tomatoes and salt.
4. After the tomatoes turn mushy, add the mushrooms and mixed vegetables.
5. Stir a bit and add the coriander, cumin, and amchur powders.
6. Let the mixture cook for a while, about 3 mins.
7. After the vegetables and mushrooms have cooked, add the pineapple juice-soaked noodles.
8. Stir well and let it cook for 6-7 mins stirring occasionally.
9. Serve hot.

Tips

1. If you want to spice up this dish, add a teaspoon of chilli powder.
2. Its best to avoid veggies such a Cauliflower, Broccoli etc that have their own distinct flavour.
3. Let the noodles sit for a minute on high heat and the noodles below crisp up a bit. Try It !
