The ‘festival of lights’ is here. Diwali is one of the biggest Indian festivals that is celebrated across the country with much pomp and fervour. The preparations begin days in advance, from cleaning houses to decorating them with diyas, lights, and rangolis. Feasting is also an important component of Diwali celebrations. With guests pouring in all day, you need to be prepared with some snacks and nibbles to host them, right? This year, take the Diwali snacking game a notch higher with these Macaroni Samosas.
The kids love it and the grown-ups can’t seem to keep their hands off it. This macaroni samosa is one of the rare ‘fusion’ recipes we approve of. Macaroni is a kind of pasta that is of tubular shape. It is prepared in myriad ways, like with milk and cheese, which gives you your classic mac n cheese. In India, it gets a slightly spicy and indulgent treatment. It wouldn’t be wrong to call it macaroni ki sabzi, and it continues to be a tiffin box favourite to date.
This spicy macaroni can also serve as excellent samosa fillings. Do not believe us? Try this fun, fabulous, and festive recipe by Chef Regi Mathew – Head, Centre of Excellence, at MTR Foods Pvt Ltd.
