Masala Pasta Recipe : After the busy weekend on Monday everyone feel lazy to cook right? I too feel the same and purposely make more chicken curry on Sunday so that I use it up the next day. This simple Indian style masala pasta recipe using left over chicken curry can be done in very few minutes of time and tastes too good. Its a great Lunch Box recipe after packing my H’s lunch then I keep the same for my lunch as well. Kids definitely like this very much, its optional to add vegetables in this pasta, if you get time then you can 🙂
