Indian style Veg Pasta

Indians are nowadays very influenced with Italian food like, pasta, spaghetti, lasagna etc. My daughter just loves pastas any time. She would be the happiest person if I serve her pasta all 3 times of the day. For a change, I made this pasta with Indian spices and tempering..totally mouth-watering and suits our Indian taste-buds. I make this often when I feel like eating something chat-pata(spicy & tangy) but filling.

Any kind of pasta, like Penne, Fusilli or Spaghetti will also go
