Boil 250 grams of pasta in salted water with 1 tablespoon oil for 6-7 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the pasta and mix, then set aside.

In a skillet, heat 3-4 tablespoons of oil and add chopped small onion, sautéing until it turns pink.

Add 0.5 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant.

Add 1 pound of boneless chicken cut into small pieces and cook until it turns white.

Add 2 blended ripe tomatoes and cook well with the chicken.

Season with 0.5 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon red chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder, 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon tikka masala; mix and cook for 5-6 minutes until chicken is tender.

Add chopped small bell pepper and mix, cooking just briefly to maintain color.

Add 3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (or ketchup if unavailable) and mix well.

In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1-2 tablespoons oil.

Add 1 tablespoon flour and sauté on low heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Gradually add 1 glass of milk while mixing to avoid lumps, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.

Stir in 0.5 teaspoon chicken powder, 0.5 teaspoon oregano, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and adjust salt to taste; cook until the sauce is creamy but not too thick.

Add 0.5 cup cream to the sauce and mix well, ensuring it remains creamy.

Combine the boiled pasta with the chicken mixture in the skillet and mix thoroughly.

Pour the white sauce over the pasta and mix until evenly coated.
