Indian Style Vegetable Masala Pasta

Masala pasta is a delicious and flavorful fusion pasta cooked the Indian way with our spice powders. The cooked pasta is tossed with onion, ginger-garlic, tomato puree, vegetables, Indian spices and garnished with coriander leaves. This hot and masaledar pasta is a refreshing change from the traditional Italian style pastas.

You can use any variety of pasta for this recipe, but I like small variety pasta like shell pasta or macaroni for this masala pasta. Kids would love this colorful pasta and you can easily sneak in any vegetable into this. This masala pasta is makes a great lunchbox option too. Now let’s see how to make this easy Indian style masala pasta.
