- Boil pasta(al dente) and chick peas(should hold their texture) separately and keep side for later use.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, take olive oil and add the chopped onions till they turn translucent. Then add the ginger garlic paste and cook till the raw smell goes off.
- Next, add the chopped tomatoes along with salt, turmeric and red chilli powder. Saute well and let them cook over low flame till the tomatoes are soft and mushy. Add a splash of water to avoid the spices from burning.
- Once the tomatoes are soft, add the boiled chickpeas and mix well.
- Now add the coconut milk and mix well. You may choose to add some water depending on how you want your pasta to be.
- Once the chick pea and coconut milk mixture starts to boil, add the boiled pasta and mix well. Add dried oregano and adjust for seasoning.
- Once pasta is mixed and integrated into the chick pea mixture, add the lemon juice and mix.
- Remove from flame and serve hot garnished with coriander or any herb of your choice.
