Macaroni and Egg image

This is one of my aunt's recipes and one of my favorite dishes. I love the way this dish is easy to make and is a different twist to pasta.

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb elbow macaroni (I prefer Ronzoni by any brand is as good as the next one)
8 -10 eggs (2 whole, rest only whites)
2 small onions (finely chopped)
3 green chilies
1/2 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
4 -6 quarts water
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
9 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon margarine or 1/2 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon Urad Dal
1 teaspoon channa dal
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add 1.5 tsp of salt and 2 tsp of oil.
  • Add elbows and stir. Without reducing flame or covering cook for about 8-9 minutes. COOK FOR NO MORE THAN 9 MINS!
  • Drain the pasta and add butter/margarine and set aside.
  • In another pan, heat remaining oil. When hot, add mustard and let it burst. Then add urad dal and channa dal.
  • When urad dal and channa dal are browned, add onions and sautee till translucent. Add green chillies, turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste and rest of salt.
  • Add eggs and keep stirring to make eggs scrambled.
  • Now, add the eggs to the pasta and mix well. Serve hot!
  • Tips: The pasta doesn't necessarily have to be elbows- other kinds of pasta can be used. Preferably not angel hair or noodles. If you want to use more egg yolks you can- if you do, you can reduce the amount of Turmeric powder.
