Steps

1

Cook pasta as per packaging instructions. Drain, then set aside.
2

Heat oil in a pan/skillet and add onions, capsicum and green chillies. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes on medium heat or until onions turn translucent, stirring frequently.
3

Add ginger garlic paste, chilli powder, garam masala, cumin and salt, then mix well cooking for another minute.
4

Add cooked pasta and water and mix well until pasta is heated through.
5

Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly stir in milk. Add the cheeses a handful at a time, then stir well, adding more milk if needed. Continue stirring until cheeses are well incorporated, making a smooth creamy sauce.
6

Turn off the heat once all the cheese has melted. Garnish with red pepper flakes and cilantro, then serve while still hot.
