Chicken Tandoori Macaroni

I always am awed with the Almighty’s creation. We all may belong to one species called “man”, yet how different we are from each other. Even if we have the same father and mother, the mix and matches in each individual differs. When you may look similar physically, mentally you are totally different. In this diversity, there is a lot to learn.  I love to observe the goodness in others and tell it to them. It gives me a lovely feeling altogether, MaShaAllah. Every person is blessed with some goodness and it is for us to see it in them to realize how beautiful life really is. 🙂 Hmm… I guess too much of hard core philosophy, I guess I’ve to thank it to the view I woke up in the morning – even though a bit humid these days, the sky is at it’s best, with tinges of black, blue and orange mixed to give a really breathtaking view. How wouldn’t you feel nice when you see something like that? The beauty of nature…

 

 

Off to the recipe for the day, anytime, macaroni is my savior for the lazy dinners. What I love about this dish is its versatility. Mix in any flavors and it just tastes awesome. Let’s have some macaroni with some tandoori flavors for today – I’m telling you, it just tastes too good!!! Recipe adapted from Yummy Yummy
