Mint Coriander Flavoured Fusilli


Mint and Coriander flavoured Fusilli



Ingredients

1 pack Fusilli or Farfalle -boiled and ready to use
1 cereal bowl of mint leaves
1 cereal bowl of cilantro leaves (coriander leaves)
3  cloves of garlic
2 green chillies,  more if you like more spice or roasted pepper if you wish
1/4 cup of milk
1 spoon of canola or olive oil
1/3 cereal bowl of small cubes of carrot, tomato, peas, all mixed (can use as many varieties and quantity)
Firm tofu cut into small cubes and marinated with a drop of lime, salt and a little crushed paprika
or
200 gms of cheese curds or any other cheese for garnishing in the end if you like (I do not this taste, but can be used as per individual taste)

Blend the mint leaves, cilantro , garlic and green chillies into a paste. Add a little water and make a smooth paste.
Add a spoon of oil , in a heated medium sized pan. Add the vegetables and saute for 5 minutes add a little salt while they soften a bit. To that add the blended paste, when everything is warmed add the milk and keep stirring the paste in medium heat. Then take it off the heat and add the fusilli. After nicely mixing it with a laddle, add the tofu. Mix lightly and cover it and keep aside for 10 minutes, before the flavours blend in and is ready to serve.

Enjoy!
