  • Mulligatawny is an Indian style curry soup. This version, adapted from a recipe found in Clean Living Magazine, uses more rice than the original, because my family prefers a less-brothy version

Indian Curry Pasta


Indian Curry pasta





First I cooked some fausage* in a frying pan with a little olive oil. When it was browned, I added some leftover pico de gallo (you could use chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro) and let it all cool.

Next I started cooking the shell pasta.

Then I heated up a jar of curry sauce (bombay style, I think, but you could use any type) and added the fausage mixture and a cup of broccoli slaw (packaged shredded broccoli, cabbage, and carrots you can buy in the produce section of most grocery stores)

When the pasta is done, add it to the curry sauce!


*Fausage just means fake sausage. Whatever brand you want. I usually buy Field Roast sausage (either Italian or Mexican Chipotle, depending on the recipe)

Fried won-tons and stir-fry noodles/veggies



Fried wontons (filled with pre-cooked fausage* and shredded broccoli, carrots, and cabbage) and stir-fry chinese-style noodles with veggies (with asian dressing)
