5) Simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring periodically to avoid burning it at the bottom.

entering this thread took a lot of courage on my part Maddy… was worried u would be cookin with ure foot… waise.. maybe u shoulda.. yeh kia malghoba banaya hai bhai??? :rotato:

5

Irem: It tastes so good that I eat it every single day :snooty:

Khatoon: Cooking with foot? :ahaa: Now THAT is an idea :smiley:
Anyway, whatever I made, i just know that it is great :yummy:

6

Omg maddyyyyyyyyy.But how do we know that you made it?

7

Maddy try something like Salmon instead of tuna kachoomar next time.

Get Salmon fillets, add your spices to it, fry and eat with the pasta :yummy:

8

that’s all that matters :yummy:

Maddy, I cannot belive I am saying this, but your recipe sound and looks great! I might give it a try sometime. Although I havent seen anyone use coriander paste in pasta before but the flavours do sound different than your usual pasta and sauce. Keep up the good work! :D

:blush:

I discovered tonight a way to improve it … when the sauce is ready, throw the pasta into the frying pan and fry it all together for 1 minutes whilst stirring the whole time. It’s oilier that way, but tastes even better! The sauce taste gets right into the pasta!!!

PS: I only use coriander paste cos I’m too lazy to chop up cariander and add it in myself :o . Remember this is batchelor chow for the lazy single man :smiley:

^^, yeah thats how we make our pasta at home: throw the sauce and pasta together and bhoonify for a little bit. This is not the traditional Italian way but it still tastes good. Its even better if you use ground lamb/beef instead of chicken and sprinkle some grated cheddar cheese on the end product and broil it until the cheese has melted. This is more like a casserole.
As far as I am familiar with the italian way of cooking, it doesnt use coriander/cilantro. so this is a more desified way. But who cares, whatever floats your boat, right? :D

Maddy, you are indeed the next Jamie Oliver :k: You just need a lot of practice.

13

Nice :k:

Pasta is the only (worthwhile) thing that I can cook. Not a big fan of Tuna though.
