The only trick to making this dish is acing its recipe. If the proportion of ingredients is not right, you won't be able to achieve a perfect blend of flavours that make this dish popular among kids and adults. Yaman Agarwal is a chef, food enthusiast, and foodie who shares easy recipes on his YouTube channel, CookingShooking.
Garnering over 20 million views on YouTube, the chef created an Indian version of macaroni pasta by infusing it with desi spices. He shared a quick and easy-peasy recipe that you can try out at home.
Infusion Of Indian Flavours Into Macaroni Pasta
Much like any other pasta recipe, you will need to boil macaroni in boiling water with some salt and oil to prevent pieces from sticking together. You must have seen this kind of pasta being used to prepare macaroni and cheese, but have you seen anyone adding chaat masala to it?
Chef Yaman Agarwal’s version of macaroni pasta uses cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, black pepper powder, and garam masala to infuse desi flavours into this dish.
Another good part of this dish was the use of vegetables, including onion, tomato, French beans, cauliflower, and carrots. The chef said that you can add other veggies like corn if you like. What makes Indian-style macaroni pasta a must-try in your home is its adaptability. Depending on your taste palette, you can skip a few ingredients or add new ones. He garnished it with fresh coriander leaves at the end, which was no less than a cherry on a cake.

A user watching the video shared that she used green peppers and mushrooms instead of vegetables and amplified the spicy flavours using chillies. She added that her partner loved this vegetarian pasta variation.
Another viewer followed the recipe and commented that their brother loved it, and they both enjoyed it a lot. Since the recipe is quite simple to follow, many followers of Check Yaman Agarwal wrote that they would love to try it out at their home.
One view pointed out that Indians have a way of twisting recipes according to their taste palette. She found the addition of chaat masala to a pasta recipe ‘a refreshing combination’. Moreover, the colour and texture of the dish in the video will convince you to try it as soon as you are done watching it.
