Vegetable Noodles

My all time favourite!!! I will eat noodles anytime anyplace anywhere, plain or spicy…

I guess most of the present generation are mad about noodles, spaghetti, pasta etc…

My family doesn't prefer buying the ready made noodles pack or the maggi/top-ramen types.

So I just buy plain spaghetti. Heres how I make it.

Ingredients:

Noodles – 100 grams

Onions – 30 grams

Garlic – 2 pods

Carrots – 20 grams

Beans – 20 grams

Capsicum – 20 grams

Tomatoes – 15 grams

Oil – 25 grams

Salt – to taste

To powder:

Coriander seeds – 10 grams

Fennel seeds – 5 grams

Cumin seeds – 2 grams

Dry ginger – 4 grams

Nutmeg – 2 grams

Cinnamon – 4 grams

Cloves – 3 grams

Cardamom – 2 grams

Poppy seeds – 2 grams

Red chilies – 10 grams

Tamarind – 5 grams

Sugar – 2 grams

Method:

• Dry roast the ingredients under “To powder” except sugar. Grind everything including sugar to a fine powder. This masala powder can be used for various dishes. This has a sweet, sour and spicy taste.
• Finely chop all the vegetables and keep aside. We can add more vegetables like cauliflower, peas, potatoes etc…
• Boil around 2 cups of water. Add little salt and put the noodles. Switch off stove. Cover and keep aside for about 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes the noodles should have been cooked. Drain the noodles from hot water and put them into a bowl of cold water. Keep aside for 2 minutes.
• After 2 minutes, drain the noodles and spread it in a plate. Pour a spoon of oil on the noodles and keep aside.
• In a kadai add the remaining oil,  add onions and garlic and fry until onions turn translucent.
• All all the remaining chopped vegetables and salt. Sprinkle a little water and mix well. Cover and close for 5 minutes until all the vegetables are cooked.
• Add 2 spoons of the masala powder and mix well.
