Channa Pasta - submitted by Dahlia on 03-23-2009 (Chikpea Pasta)
This is a pasta dish that I usually make with leftover channa masala (chole). This can be made from scratch too by making the channa masala first and then tossing in the cooked pasta. It is delicious and can be served for dinner, brunch or evening snack. Ingrdients Channa Masala (Chole) - 2 cups
Pasta - 2 cups
Salt - as needed
Chilly Powder - 1/2 tsp
Cilantro - for garnish  Method
1. Cook and drain the pasta as per the package instructions. Any shape of pasta could be used. Different pastas have different cooking times.
2. Heat the channa masala gravy with little extra salt and chilly powder. This is to flavour the pasta. If you do not have leftover channa masala, you can make it from scratch.
3. Toss the cooked pasta with the gravy and mix it nicely.
4. Finally toss in the finely chopped cilantro and serve hot. Tips
- The other pasta dishes that can be made with leftover gravies are :- Bainghan (Eggplant/ Brinjal) Pasta - made with leftover bainghan ka bartha or ennai kathrikai.
Chicken Pasta - with left over pepper chicken or other chicken masalas.
Mushroom Pasta - with leftover mushroom masala.
These are just some of the ideas but the possibilities are endless. Comments Comment by Namagiri Sridhar
