Many of us love to experiment with new flavour combinations and give fresh twists to our favourite dishes. One of the most popular choices for these experiments is pasta. Given that it’s versatile, easy to cook and now widely available in stores, this comes as no surprise. In India, many of us are familiar with “desi pasta”. One version of it currently making the rounds online involves it being cooked in a classic Indian gravy. In the Instagram reel shared by @chandlersharesfood, we see a pan full of cooked farfalle mixed with a brownish ‘sauce’. The text on the video reads, “When your cook makes pasta in chole ki gravy”. Take a look at the clip below:
