I am very fond of creating fusion recipes this recipe is another attempt to create a delicious recipe combining two cuisines. Kadhai paneer or kadhai chicken are famous main course dishes from the northern hemisphere of India. I have used the masala from this recipe to create the sauce and combined it with perfectly cooked pasta.

The result... A yummylicious, flavorful and unique recipe.

Though the kadhai preparations wether vegetarian or non vegetarian are kind of dry , however we will create a gravy or a sauce as we will be adding it to the pasta.
