Hi, My mom used to make macaroni this way with Indian spices and tomatoes- no concept of sauce back then and we used to lick it off the plates. This is comfort food anyday.

I have to say that resistance is a natural reaction to any culture. The same sort of mentality applies in reverse. Try adding something that doesn’t belong in the Indian spice rack to any Indian dish and you will be subject to the criticism of any Indian cook nearby. I’ve seen arguments on “cooking violations” even among Indian people coming from different states. In the end, it’s all about taste. If it tastes good, and suits you that what matters. Conventions are just too limiting, and for the narrow-minded. Life is all about experimenting.

Bit late into the party, but I love spicy spaghetti. At restaurants I always empty out their pepper flakes shaker for lack of enough spice. Perhaps next time, I’ll carry a secret box of garam masala in my purse

Thanks Indira for clarification. How do you make tomato sauce at home? Have you blogged it before. It would be good to learn as I do not want to buy tomato sauce from stores.

Thanks all for your comments.

Lakshmi, Harini-Jaya, Padma: kasuri methi and garam masala measurements were for 4 cups of tomato sauce. The end result tasted good.

Swapna: The tomato sauce is homemade with my autumn tomato harvest. It’s plain sauce with no herb additions. I rarely buy tomato sauce, but some of my friends use Hunt’s brand and they say it’s good.

Malini: I’m not familiar with current brands in India. Sorry.

Aparna: Hope you welcome this recipe in your kitchen, try and enjoy it.
