This is my 100 foot journey. A little distance covered from India to Italy. We all are people. People of different nations. People of different food habits. People with various spices and blends that make us feel at home. Then there are people like me or like all those who have become – Aliens. Immigrants. Nomads. Left the birth country. Adhered a new nation. Adapted new culture. Trying to keep our culture alive. Raising kids with dual cultures. All in good spirit :).

Taking this to fiesta friday hosted by Angie and co hosted by Hilda of Along the Grapevine! Hope you girls enjoy my bowl of pasta along with Chili Corne and Apple Walnut Cake of your !

Amit had dinner out with his colleagues and the girls wanted Pasta for dinner. These kids can eat pasta everyday and for every meal. I like pasta too but somehow marinara sauce doesn’t appeal me very much. Spaghetti is a different case! So boiled a batch of pasta. Everybody was having their own way then why not me? I wanted pasta and I wanted curry too.

Does that ever happen with you? Like craving for nachos and want a bite of that Asian noodle too…or….while eating your chili, a sudden craving for Thai curry creeps up? No…I am not talking about pregnancy pangs….normal eating habits……A foodie can relate to that for sure!

So there I was! Made Oil free Curry base for my pasta from Shailja’s recipe. It was finger licking delicious. No oil, bursting with bold Indian spices, added al dente Penne and a soul quenching comforting bowl was in my hands. I ate that whole bowl. I was hungry. Light lunch?

Let me know if you try it :).

  3. Love your fusion pasta dish, Sonal. Italy meets India…love it!
    I saw The 100 Foot Journey a couple of weeks ago…best movie I’ve seen in a long time. 🙂 And the food…oh, that food! A stop at the local Indian restaurant on the way home was demanded!

  5. I looks delicious and I don’t know how you manage to make this amazing food with no oil. I often get cravings and end up with fusion dishes, sometimes it turns out and sometimes it doesn’t. This pasta dish did and it’s making me really hungry,
