Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable
This dish combines tender, flavorful chicken with classic spaghetti, making it a comforting and satisfying meal. It’s easy to prepare and perfect for busy weeknights when you want something delicious without spending too much time in the kitchen.
Step 1
Heat some oil in a large wok. Toss in the green chilies, onion, carrot, and capsicum, and cook everything for about a minute. Then, turn off the heat and set the veggies aside.
Step 2
In the same wok, pour in about half a cup of oil and let it warm up. Add the chopped garlic and sauté it for a minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces and cook them for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the chicken cooks, sprinkle in the cumin powder, chili powder, pepper, and salt.
Step 4
Pour in the chili sauce, soy sauce, and a splash of vinegar. Give everything a good stir so the flavors come together.
Step 5
Add the tomato puree and let it simmer for about 3 minutes to thicken up the sauce.
Step 6
Throw in the boiled spaghetti and the cooked veggies you set aside earlier. Mix everything well so the noodles soak up the flavors.
Step 7
Finish off by tossing in some fresh coriander leaves for a burst of freshness. Give it one last stir, and you’re ready to serve!
