• Add a pinch of turmeric powder and cook the vegetables for atleast 15-17 min. Sprinkle little water in between to avoid the burn.
  
• When the vegetables are almost cooked, add 1/2 spoon garam masala powder, black pepper, 1/2 spoon coriander powder, a pinch of chat masala and salt.
  
• Give a stir and cook for a minute. Now add the cooked pasta, stir and cook for another 3-4 min.
  
• Vegetable Pasta is ready to serve. Have it plain or with tomato sauce.
  

Note:

• You can use any vegetable of your choice. You can also include peas/corn for additional taste.
• While cooking pasta add a drop of oil in the water, so that the pasta will not stick to each otther.
• Run the pasta in cold water immediately after cooking, otherwise the pasta will badly stick to each other.
• You can use butter or olive oil for cooking. I used butter.
