Cutlet Pasta
Cutlet Pasta - is not any regular traditional pasta. it is rather fusion and more tuned to Indian taste. The dish I have tasted had all Indian masala however my sons like Italian seasoning. So I have used the mix of Indian (from cutlet) and Italian spices. I have used macaroni in this recipe you can use your favourite type of pasta. Once I have used Red Lentil pasta but I prefer regular pasta types
