Pasta is cooked with Indian spices to make it spicy and flavorful. This curry flavored one pot pasta is good enough to satisfy your hunger pangs on any day!

My dream has come true finally! We have a pantry now! I cannot express how relieved I am with the fact that I now have proper storage space for my kitchen props and groceries. Ever since I started this food blog, my collection has increased in multi-folds. The number of plates, cups, spoons, vessels and different knick knacks that I keep collecting on my every trip to Home Goods or TJ Maxx. Although shopping for my blog is my favorite pastime, I was exhausting all my kitchen space to store them. Our kitchen layout is such that there is no defined pantry and that is why we created a small pantry in an open space available. 

I promise to share my pantry picture with all of you once I am done organizing it. I have been rummaging through Pinterest for inspiration and ideas which I cannot wait to try. My creative brain is running overtime! To celebrate my new pantry, my basic instinct was to make something Indian, however I was also in mood to experiment. When I had been to Bombay for vacation, there was a newly opened restaurant that I visited. All the recipes served there were very unconventional yet delicious. My friend had ordered Chicken Tikka Pasta there but since I am a vegetarian, I couldn’t taste it. However, I had loved the fusion idea.

If you have been a regular reader, you would know by now how much I love pasta. Ever since that day, I wanted to recreate a vegetarian version of the curry pasta my friend had at that restaurant. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to create my vegetarian version of this recipe. I gave it similar treatment like any Indian curry and the result was absolutely amazing. I wanted to finish off the whole pan in one go..damn the diet! Sigh! But I had to control myself. KR too loved it and suggested that I only make this paste going forth! I am all pumped up to share this super easy peasy recipe with you. Hope you enjoy it too.

Cook pasta as per instructions on the packet. Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, temper mustard seeds and cumin seeds. As they begin to crackle, add curry leaves, minced garlic, ginger paste and green chillies. Fry for a minute or two and then add the onions. Fry till they turn translucent and then add the tomatoes and salt. Continue to saute till the tomatoes are cooked. Next add the edamame and dry spices like turmeric powder, coriander cumin powder, garam masala, chilly powder and crushed pepper.

Also add Italian seasonings, kasoori methi and dried basil. Mix it all together and saute for two minutes. Then add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix lightly. Then add grated Parmesan cheese and cilantro for garnish. 

Vegan One Pot Indian Curry Pasta is now ready. Serve with warm garlic bread. If you do try this recipe, please do share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. This will keep me motivated to develop more interesting recipes. Click a pic and post it with the hashtag #cookiliciousveg — I would love to see your pictures on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
