I admire Indian food, but Eugene doesn't have a great Indian restaurant.
So I got tired trying to get an Indian comfort in these okay restaurants, and dealt with it in my own kitchen!
That's how and also why, I created this Indian style pasta recipe.
I named it "Om Pasta" since when you eat it you come to perfect harmony with yourself - just like the Om singing (Ommmmmmm) in Yoga. Makes you feel so calm, free and relaxed.
I prepared it again, a few days ago to celebrate a month birthday to my blog in Hebrew, and published the recipe there. To Practice the deep themes of Yoga and Pasta traditions (world peace, comfort, sharing, letting go) I am more than ready to publish this recipe here, for the English readers as well.
