I loved this recipe the first time I had it! And, as usual when I like a dish, I want to have the recipe and try it. My cousin Bulbul, who had prepared this delicious dish, generously shared the recipe and since then this dish has featured in dinners and parties at my place. It appeals to all regardless of their age or food choices. Young kids like it and so do fussy elders who normally keep away from continental or Italian dishes.
Ingredients
2 cups boiled macaroni
2 onions
1 capsicum
3-4 tomatoes
2-3 tsps sugar
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
salt to taste
4 tbsps tomato ketchup
2 tbsp butter or oil
1/2 cup fresh cream
3-4 tbsp grated cooking cheese
1tbsp butter
Method: Chop the onions into small pieces. Cut the capsicum into rings. Cut the tomatoes into big pieces, add 1 cup of water and cook. When cooked, blend in mixer and strain.
Heat the oil or butter and fry the onions and capsicum lightly. Take out few capsicum rings and keep aside. Now add the tomato puree, sugar, red chilli powder and salt. Boil for a few minutes. Add the tomato ketchup, macaroni and cream. Cover and cook on low flame for another two minutes.
Grease a baking dish and pour the tomato and macaroni mixture in it. Spread the capsicum rings and the grated cheese on top and dot with butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 10- 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and gets a nice colour. Serve hot.
Note: This dish can also be served without baking. Serve hot garnished with cheese
