How to make creamy peanut butter pasta sauce

To make peanut butter mix add 1 small tablespoon peanut butter followed by spices like 1/2 tablespoon red chili powder you could add more depends upon the spice level you want, pinch of black pepper powder, 1/2 table spoon of gram masala powder followed by pinch of asafoetida (Hing), salt as per taste and also add milk or water whatever you like to make the peanut butter mix properly.

Once peanut butter mix is ready take the frying pan add peanut butter mix into it and keep it on sim once the bubbles are formed add the pasta into the peanut butter mixture and mix it all properly please note if the pasta is becoming extra dry keep adding water or milk and salt as well because as we add more liquid taste of salt dissolves so always keep tasting your pasta till the time it doesn’t give the exact taste as per your liking you could also increase the spiciness as per your taste by adding extra red chilli powder and black pepper powder.

Once the pasta is properly blended with the peanut butter mix, add the roasted veggies into the frying pan and mix it all properly; that’s it; your crunchy and spicy peanut butter pasta is ready.
