Macaroni And Cheese Recipe | Desi Macaroni Recipe | Macaroni Pasta with step-by-step recipe. Indian cuisine is heavily influenced and embraced by other overseas cuisine and recipes. While it has been happily accepted, it has undergone slight modifications and adaptations to match the taste preference and spice level. One such hugely popular and tasty meal recipe is the macaroni and cheese recipe with a twist of spices and flavours.
To be honest, I am not a huge fan of overseas recipes, especially these pizza and pasta recipes. It is mainly because of the spice-less or bland taste it has to offer. Whenever I am asked to have these, I try to add basic spices like pepper or chilli powder to make it exciting. I even try to extend this sometimes by adding garam masala or cumin & coriander powder to get that authentic taste. Having said that, I have not added those specific spices to this recipe. Basically, I have tried to keep it authentic and restricted myself to pepper and chilli powder. If you are not looking for a spicy or desi macaroni recipe, you may even avoid chilli powder and stick to pepper. Do try this variant of macaroni pasta and let me know if you like it.
Macaroni and Cheese recipeFurthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions and variants to the macaroni and cheese recipe. Firstly, the sauce prepared here with a desi touch can be used for any type of pasta. Basically, the sauce is ideal for mac pasta, but it should not limit to other kinds of pasta variants. Secondly, for the cheese part, I have added the basic mozzarella cheese which makes it an ideal combo for this recipe. However, you can add processed cheese or any type of cheese as per your taste. Lastly, mainly because of the cheese, the sauce starts thickening once it is rested. Hence it is always best to serve immediately once it is prepared. Otherwise, you may have to reheat it to bring it to the right consistency.
