That was a Sunday morning, and me and my mom, both were suffering from
cough and cold. I woke up very late that day, at around 10.30 a.m. My mashimoni
(maternal aunt) made me a strong ginger tea and that really helped me to feel
better. As I was sipping my tea, ma asked if I can make something hot and spicy
for breakfast as she was craving for it. My father by then already came back
from the market and I could not ask him to go again to the market to buy
something, so I was flicking my mind about making chowmein. But then, last week
only we had that, so not really wanted to make it. Then my mother brought a
packet of pasta in front of me and asked if I could make something out of it.
The tube light in my head quickly turned on and I started arranging things for
making a spicy dish.
I chopped 2 big onions in big slices, chopped garlic and ginger, cut
some chilli in length wise, chopped tomatoes in small pieces.

As my mom wanted it to be spicy, I get some black pepper powder, some
chilli sauce, soya sauce, tomato sauce, coriander powder, two dried red chilli
soaked in vinegar.
I had very small amount of pasta which would not have been sufficient
for three people, so I decided to add some plenty quantity of vegetables in it.
I get some sliced carrot, beans, peas, capsicum, and spring onion.

All my family members are true non-vegetarian and cannot even think
about starting a Sunday with a veg preparation so I eventually cracked two
medium sized eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt.
I had one slice of cheese in my fridge, so thought of adding that too
in the preparation along with corn flour.
In a deep bowl I put some water to boil and added the pastas, carrots,
bean and peas in it along with a little refined/ olive oil, so that it won’t
stick together. After 5 minutes of boiling, I turned off the flame and get everything
out of the water.
In another pan, I get some refined oil, after it gets hot; I added the
onion, ginger, garlic and chillies one by one. Added some salt. Kept stirring
it and after 2 minutes like this, I added the chopped tomatoes and then
gradually I added all the boiled vegetables and spring onion, capsicum. After 3
minutes of it I started adding all the sauces one by one and kept on mixing all
the ingredients so that it won’t start sticking. After a while I made a point
in the center of the pan and poured two eggs in it and started mixing the whole
thing very fast while keeping the flame high. After all the things mix well
together, I added black pepper powder, coriander powder, red chillies and the
pastas in it. I added a very little amount of water into it, as the whole thing
became dry. After 3 to 4 minutes like this, I added the corn flour and put the
flame low while mixing the whole thing. After almost 30 seconds of this, I
turned off the flame and put some chopped cheese over it.

The outcome was very nice, it was spicy, filling, and tasty and most of
all my mashimoni and maa loved it.
P.S# you can add chicken in it and any other vegetable as per your
choice.
Though I am not at all a foodie (as you know...hehe) I enjoyed reading the post. The presentation is very unconventional, interesting and not like a typical food blog. Keep writing.
