Spaghetti with Curry Leaves and Chilli with a plate of steamed vegetarian prawnAnother one of my East meets West dish, this consists of simple blend of curry leaves and chilli tossed in olive oil. This is improvised version of the Pasta Aglio Olio, using curry leaves to replace garlic. To make it more exotic, sprinkle some curry powder on it. Use fresh red chilli if chilli padi is too fiery and use Angel Hair instead of spaghetti which requires much shorter cooking time.

° 200g spaghetti or angel hair
