Trinis love curry and many people also love pasta so why not combine them! Believe me, this curry pasta dish is one you will love!

YIELD: 3 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 can channa, drained and rinsed
• 1 – 1 1/2 cup eggplant, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp coconut powder
• 1 1/2 cup water (or as needed)
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• Hot pepper as you like
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp JGM Products curry powder
• Pinch of roasted geera
• 1 1/2 tbsp green seasoning
• 3-4 curry leaves
• 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
• Approx. 100-150g Fettuccine

DIRECTIONS:

1. Boil fettuccine according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pot over low heat.
3. Sauté onions, garlic, pepper.
4. Add curry leaves and curry powder. Keep stirring for 2-3 minutes. This is to toast the powder to help release the flavors. Add a little water only if necessary to prevent any sticking or burning.
5. Add roughly 3-4 tbsp water. Keep stirring until a paste a formed.
6. Add eggplant pieces. Mix well to coat with the curry.
7. Add water and coconut milk powder. Cook until egg plant is almost tender and/or begins to melt.
8. Add chickpeas, green seasoning and salt to taste.
9. Continue cooking until the eggplant is fully cooked through. Add a pinch of roasted geera just before it is completely finished.
10. Once the curry sauce has thickened up, add boiled fettuccine. Mix well.
11. Garnish with chopped chives/parsley/celery.
12. Enjoy your curry pasta!

NOTE:

• Honestly I totally forgot to measure the amount of fettuccine used. Just in case you boiled too much, you can save it for another dish.
• You can use any type of pasta you like.
• You can also serve the curry and pasta separately instead of combining them.
• You can use any other vegetable.
• You can also eliminate the eggplant and use only chickpeas.
• If you don’t have curry leaves, it’s no problem.
