Fay's One Pot Macaroni and Mince image

This is something I make. It is my own concoction. I add vegetables to this too sometimes but the meat is compulsory at my home. DH and DS love this. I omit the tomato too sometimes and make a dryish onion and garlic based dish which is also very good. The spices can be adjusted to suit your taste. Anything goes in this for me as I do not make the same recipe again without tweaking (very bad habit but cannot be helped I am like that only)so I am writing out of memory and what appeals to me right now. So feel free to

1/2 teaspoon ground aniseed (optional)
2 green chilies, chopped
3 -4 big tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon garam masala, plus
extra garam masala, to taste
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped ginger
3 cups water, 150% the volume of the macaroni (e.g. if the pasta measures 1 cup use 1 1/2 cups of water)

extra tomato ketchup, to taste

  • Mix in the tomato paste or ketchup and set aside.
  • Add 1 tsp oil to the vessel again and saute the remaining onion and garlic till nice and golden brown.
  • Add some soya sauce/ sugar to help this process (a tsp or so- a trick I use to aid the onions in the process of frying).
