Hot Pot

That didn't last long. I cooked.

I made a Macaroni Hot Pot.

Well a Penne Hot Pot.

Only not so much of a pot, the sauce wasn't soupy.

So Rakesh Chacha was here last monsoon, (Neeraj does in fact inherit his culinary gene from the Roys), and he made a Pasta Hot Pot in 15-20 mins with the simplest ingredients around the house. (Imagine my shame and his surprise when I had no rosemary at home then). Kyra wanted Pasta there was this one dish wonder in the book that i wanted to try and it had hints of what chacha had done - so i thought, let's go!

No capsicum was one problem as per recipe. Plus that Kyra doesnt like Cheese sause.

This was also the case for Chacha's recipe. So i decided to make chacha's recipe - with tomato base.

I tasted it at the end. Tasted pretty good. Was low on salt. i added salt and some Maggi all spice seasoning - Which tipped the salt scales in the other direction.....

So dadiji's trick of half a potato to soak up the salt was implemented. It helped only a bit, but Kyra liked it.

And till I am ready to invite you over to dinner - you have to take her word for it.
