Macaroni is a variety of pasta made of wheat without egg. Macaroni is famous as Italian dish. Macaroni come in different shapes. Here i use comma shaped macaroni. Macaroni with cheese is known variety of making it. Here we see, how to do it spicy with a touch of Indian flavor. Its a fusion of Italian and Indian spicy masala.
Bored of chapati and other regular dinners, try this. It has high protein and because of its different shapes, kids love to eat. The dish is suitable for dinner and some like to have it in morning. On a get together, this will be a sure hit. I do it weekly once. I am Non veg so i added tuna (type of fish). This is a Non veg version of how i do this Macaroni masala (Pasta masala)
