Whole meal Pasta with Chicken/Vegetable



My love and cravings for Pasta keep growing each time I see any picture of it in any magazine or shows or in the net ,and as my Friend Sobia Akram uploaded her yummy Pasta with Chicken and Vegetable yesterday i was determined to make it immediately.

I had invited my Friend over and told her that our Menu for today is of course nothing else than PASTA :) and on her way to me, she bought me some really fresh organic vegetable.
Thank you dear Sobia, I made it according to your recipe it was really very delicious and my friend and I nearly ate the whole of the Wok and still had eyes on the last remaining portion :) Yummmmz!!
 
 
 
 
The taste of Tamarind in it is really goooooooood!!!
Followed your Vegetables:
Carrots, Radish, Peas,
I mixed in the radish and also sprinkled raw on the top, it really gives a nice yummy taste, I will surely make it again I am sure may be next week: D
It was very tasty indeed! Thank you dear :)
 
 
 
I did make some of my changes too.
I forgot to write this in the heading, I did fry the chicken pieces with spices separately and added before serving
*I used Whole meal Noodles (Penne)
*I added the following Vegetables:
Paprika, Maze, Green Beans, cabbage,
( I love Paprika in my Pasta)
*I omit the boiled potatoes and the sausage
*I added some Tabasco for a hotter taste and some of my spice without which I cannot live lol. The hot Garam Masala, Cumin powder, 1 tbs of plant shortening
*Last but not least 1 tbs of mixed Pickle too (Acchaar)
