Hot and Spicy Macaroni

Serves 4
Boiling Macaroni
Take 8 large cups of water, bring to boil. Add sufficient salt, 1 tbsp oil and 3 large cups of macaroni. once it starts to boil, simmer for 15 minutes, stirring in between. check if it is cooked. cooking time for macaroni differs depending on the brand. once boiled, strain excess water. rinse in cold water, strain, add 2 tsp oil, mix well and keep aside.

How to Proceed
slice/dice/chop veggies like carrots, French beans, cauliflower, peas, etc (nothing fancy like olives, jalapeƱos, babycorn). need about 1 cup of mixed veggies. take 1 tbsp oil, add these veggies, salt to taste, fry until soft. take out and keep aside.
8-10 cloves of garlic, 1/4 inch ginger, 4-5 dry red chillies,- to be blended into paste using little water if needed. (or you can soak the red chillies overnight in 2 tsp vinegar and 1/4 cup water. if you do, remember NOT not add vinegar again)
take 2 tsp oil, add the paste, saute for 2-3 minutes, add the veggies, macaroni, 3tsp vinegar, 1/2 tsp soy sauce (optional), 1/4 cup water, saute on medium flame. then add 1/2 large cup coriander, mix well. you can also add finely chopped green chilli if you want it too spicy. saute for another 2-3 minutes.
Hot and Spicy Macaroni is ready to eat.
you can also add grated cheddar/mozerella cheese.
