I thought of trying pasta in desi style as I don’t like pasta Sad smiley cooking in white sauce or any other non desi style.This was running in to mind for a long while and I was amazed to see how everyone like pasta as its having a blend taste.One day when is was thinking Thinking smile about the paruppu sevai then immediately a spark came Surprised smile and thought why not to try pasta in the paruppu sevai style.First I was hesitant and then finally thought to proceed with it.Then also tried inducing color bell peppers and it gave a nice color to the pasta.The result was a yummy pasta and now slowly started liking pasta.As usual when I started cooking and started taking photos I was having enough sunlight Sun but later in the end when is was busy with my final photos as ever it became cloudy.So you can see the color difference between first and final photos.So don’t get confused.

Ingredients :

Pasta 250(app)
Toor dall 1/2 cup
