I was lucky to get my hands on some lovely handmade noodles from Nutty Fresh (IG: nutty_fresh). The children love noodles and I thought of experimenting a little.

I found a great recipe which had easy alternatives to the missing ingredients, plus added a few of my own and lunch was a relaxed and delicious deal!

Ingredients:

• Coconut milk
• Cumin whole or powdered
• Coriander powder
• Ginger
• Onion
• Red chilly (dried or de seeded, fresh)
• Garlic
• Turmeric
• Lemon zest
• Lemon juice
• Celery
• Basil
• lemongrass stalk with leaves
• Jaggery
• Salt to taste
• Noodles
• Veggies of choice: I’ve taken zucchini green and yellow, red pepper & Spring onion

Method:

• Grind the Cumin (whole or powdered), Coriander powder, Ginger, Onion, Red chilly (dried or de seeded, fresh), Garlic, Turmeric with a tablespoon of coconut milk.
• Set aside
• In a wok / kadhai, add coconut oil and sauté finely chopped garlic and lightly sauté the veg.
• Add the fresh paste you just made to the mix.
• Add coconut milk and water (go easy on the water)
• Bring to a boil until the veg is almost cooked
• Add chopped fresh parsley, basil, lemon zest and spring onions. Cook for a minute more approx.
• Add salt and jaggery to taste
• Add the lime juice
• Make noodles separately.
• Serve the noodles and the curry in a bowl. Garnish with onion chives, chili flakes, dash more of lime if need be.
• Serve the noodles dunked in the warm curry and toppings.

I am a very instinctive cook so I don’t really do measurements but here’s the link of the site where I got the recipe from.

How do you like your noodles?
