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.
