I 2 (Indo – Italian) : Capsicum paneer pasta with Basil and Parsley
About:
This is a delicious pasta with the fusion recipe I tried to cook pasta in capsicum paneer masala gravy. Made few variations in gravy by adding basil and parsley and tried to make this as indo-italian version.
Basil and parsley add Italian taste to pasta and paneer and capsicum gravy adds indian touch in this recipe.
Health benefits of basil:
Basil (known as tulsi in Hindi) has been used for centuries in Ayurveda, a traditional Indian system of medicine, as a treatment for gastric, hepatic, respiratory and inflammatory disorders as well as a remedy for headache, fever, anxiety, convulsions, nausea and hypertension.
Do try this variation with your favourite veggies and spices.
