Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of oil to the water.

Add 2 cups of macaroni shaped pasta to the boiling water.

Stir and let it boil for about 6 to 7 minutes or until done.

Check the pasta for doneness; it should have some resistance and form a small ring.

Strain the pasta in a colander and pour in some cold water to stop carry over cooking.

Set the pasta aside.

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil.

Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped ginger and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic; cook for 30 to 40 seconds.

Add slit green chilies and cook for a minute.

Add spring onion whites and cook for another minute.

Add 1 slit onion, carrots, and capsicums; cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly soft but still crunchy.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of kashmiri red chili powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper powder; mix well.

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce, 2 to 3 teaspoons of red chili sauce, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce; mix and cook for 1 more minute.

In a bowl, prepare a corn flour slurry by mixing 2 tablespoons of corn flour with 0.5 cup of water until lump-free.

Add the corn flour slurry to the veggies and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes until the base thickens.

Cook and mix the pasta for 2 to 3 more minutes until fully done, being careful not to overcook it.
