Fusion Spaghetti (in Spicy Curry Sauce with Italian-spiced Fried Prawns)

First cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the instructions on the packet. Drain in a colander and pass them once again through cold water. Add pepper, garlic powder, salt and oil to the noodles and toss to coat.

Meanwhile, in a pan over medium heat add butter. Once melted add garlic and ginger, and cook until softened. Add remaining vegetables (carrots through mushrooms) and stir fry.

As the vegetables cook add chicken stock, soy sauce, red chili sauce, cornstarch, and tomato ketchup into a small bowl. Mix well. Add this mixture to the vegetables and cook till the gravy thickens and veggies are softened to your preference. Turn off gas.

Clean, peel and de-vein the prawns. Apply salt, red chili powder and ginger-garlic paste to them and coat well.

Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and allow it to heat. Cover the individual prawns in the Italian spiced bread crumbs. When oil is hot add prawns in a single layer. Cook until pink on both sides, just 3 or so minutes per side.

For serving, when the sauce is done, add spaghetti to it and mix well or you can serve separately i.e. place spaghetti on a plate and pour sauce on it. Serve along with hot spicy prawns.

Tips:

You can use any curry powder of your choice.
Adjust the spices to suit your taste buds.
I fried few prawns with just salt,turmeric and chili powder coated with semolina.
