Ingredients

1 tsp oil
salt to taste
1 cup whole wheat pasta (fusilli/farfalle/macaroni)
1 1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper powder powder
oil for deep-frying

Method

Boil a vesselful of water in a broad non- stick pan, add the oil, salt and pasta in it and cook on a medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes or till the pasta is 50% cooked, while stirring twice in between to avoid the pasta from sticking to the pan.
Meanwhile, combine the mixed herbs and pepper powder in a small bowl and mix well. Keep aside.
Heat the oil in a broad non-stick kadhai and deep-fry the pasta, a few at a time, till they are crisp and brown in colour from all the sides.
Drain on an absorbent paper, sprinkle the masala on it and toss well.
Cool completely and store in an air-tight container.
