Spaghetti salad hacked by an Indian non-cook

Feel like having a spicy snack, without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen?

Here's a hack.

Angel Hair Pasta/Chinese style noodles/flat noodles- half a box.

Mustard Seeds- 1 tablespoon- more if you fancy, go crazy.

Curry Leaves- a handful

Green chillies- 3-4 slit sideways if you prefer mild spices, chopped round if you like spicy hot.

salt, black pepper, red chilli powder- per your taste.
Cucumber one sliced and then chopped into pieces
Tomato sliced and then chopped into pieces

Break pasta strands in half. For those of you who have never broken anything but your mom's best China, pasta flies everywhere if you break it like you would break a carrot.

Pasta strands breaking hack- Take a wide bowl, whose width is greater than the length of the pasta strands and then softly break the strands in half.

Put the pasta in a pan. Pour enough water to cover the pasta completely and then some more. Add a spoonful of salt. Boil on high heat.

Once the water comes to a boil, turn the heat down and keep it on medium for 10 minutes. Do not cover. Take a large stainless steel sieve or strainer. Drain the water.

Run cold water over hot pasta.

Take a pan. Heat 2 spoons of olive oil or the your regular cooking oil over high heat, although it does taste better in olive oil.

Turn down the heat to medium.

Put mustard seeds, fry them for a minute or until you can smell their aroma.

Fry curry leaves until they turn brownish.

Add green chillies, fry for half a minute. Add a little salt, a few dashes of black pepper and red chilli powder.

Turn off the heat.

Pour this fantastic smelling dressing over your cold pasta, toss in cucumber and tomato and serve in a rainy evening and enjoy.
