Pearl Millet Spaghetti

Missing the Maggi noodles already. Well who doesn't ? :( Ok now.Make up your minds and get ready for a yummy treat and this time it's fun Spaghetti.But wait..It isn't the usual Maida based one,I have here used Pearl Millet & Whole wheat Spaghetti. Yes you heard it right ! Ever since the organic fever is on in the markets,this pack of organic kambu & whole wheat Spaghetti caught my attention in the supermarket.
Finally I dished out this Chatpata Masala Spaghetti with no market sold masala packets,but full of homemade spices and veggies.
Lets move on to this recipe fully loaded with health & nutritional benefits.

1 cup Pearl Millet organic Spaghetti.
Veggies of your choice ( I used carrots,beans,cabbage, sprouts,cauliflower)

Turmeric powder,Chat Masala,Red chilli powder,Coriander powder,Garam masala - Take a tsp of each & mix and keep aside.
Green chillies 1 no as per taste.

Salt to taste.

Method.
1.Boil  five times the water ratio to that of the spaghetti quantity roughly with a pinch of salt.
2.Add the spaghetti and boil for 8 mins.Drain the noodles and keep aside to cool.
3.In a kadai,add a tsp of oil & saute garlic followed by onions and green chillies.Add salt to taste.
4.Add the veggies one by one and add water & cook.Don't make it too soft .Let the veggies retain the crunchiness.
5.Once the water is absorbed, add the spice powder mix,diced tomatoes and give a quick stir.
6.Add the noodles and mix well.Check salt.
Top it off with a dash of lemon juice.

Serve it hot sprinkled with red chilli powder & lemon juice for added flavours.
