Ingredients

  • 8 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder (this chili powder isn't hot)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon kasuri methi (crushed, dried fenugreek leaves)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • chaat masala (to sprinkle)

Cilantro Sour Cream Dip/Chutney

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 large bunch cilantro
  • 10-12 mint leaves (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 inch ginger
  • 1/2 jalapeño (or add more for spicier chutney)
  • 4-5 almonds (optional, for thicker texture)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method

  1. Bring a pot of water to boil. Once water starts boiling, add the pasta and boil according to instructions on the package. I boiled 12 to 13 minutes for rigatoni pasta. Once the pasta is cooked al-dente, remove pot from heat and drain the pasta using a strainer.
  2. Then transfer it to a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Then add the spices- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala and 1 teaspoon crushed kasuri methi. Also add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Using a spatula, mix until everything is well combined.
  5. Transfer to an air fryer in a single layer. I had to air fry in 2 batches. Air fry at 400 F degrees for 10 minutes until they are crispy and browned. Remember to shake twice in between so that there's even cooking. Transfer to serving plate.
