Instructions
- SPAGHETTI: Boil water in a pot, add a little oil and salt and cook pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the water and keep aside.
- RICE: Boil water in a separate pot, add a little oil and salt and add soaked rice. Cook until completely done. Drain the excess water and keep aside.
- GRAVY: In a wok, add onion and sauté until translucent, then add chicken pieces, ginger paste and garlic paste.
- Stir fry on high heat until the chicken is almost cooked.
- Add chopped capsicums and carrot and stir fry, keeping the flame high until the chicken is cooked properly.
- Add the green chilies, chopped coriander, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, soy sauce, ketchup and lemon juice and cook for another 2 minutes until all mixed together.
- Add corn flour to water and mix well. Add this slurry to the gravy and mix thoroughly to avoid lumps. Let it cook until the white color of the corn flour disappears. Now you can add some extra water if you want extra gravy or if you find it too dry. Bring to a boil and adjust taste and turn off the heat.
- MAYO SAUCE: Now to prepare the mayo sauce by mixing all the ingredients except milk. If the consistency is thick, add some milk to make the mayo sauce runny.
- GARLIC BUTTER: Heat butter in a pan and add chopped garlic and green/red chilli. Fry until aromatic, do not let it brown.
- For the layering, take a serving tray/dish and add rice to it. Add spaghetti over rice and make a nest for the gravy.
- Pour the gravy in the middle of the nest.
- Pour Mayo sauce over uncovered spaghetti and top it off with garlic butter.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
