Notes/Tips:
Let the garlic cook well in the butter before adding the spices.
You can add some Amul cheese as well.
I used farfalle pasta but feel free to use any shape you want.
You can make this from before and keep in meal prep.
If you want to make it creamy add some cream in the end when you add the pasta water.
The chili doesn’t make it spicy but if you wang it no spice at all skip the green chili.
Adding butter and oil helps the butter from burning.
Use vegan butter or oil to make it Vegan.
