It is just irresistible and mouth drooling dish!! uff... This recipe takes quite a bit of time for preparing, but in the end when u are done u will be more than happy.. cox It's totally worth giving a try. Every bite of it u will be in air (not cox its thattt spicy, but because, it's tooo delicious :P ) :D

Corn flour                                          1 tbsp. dissolved in half cup water
Chopped coriander                            Few leaves

Procedure:

Procedure for Mayonnaise Sauce:

First of all prepare the Mayonnaise sauce. Just mix all the ingredients mentioned above & set aside. :)

P.S. Adjust spices acc. to your taste!

Procedure for Spaghetti:

Next, in a pot boil water, add some oil (it helps spaghetti not to stick together) and salt (acc to taste) and then add spaghetti and boil. Drain. Wash with cold water to remove any extra stickiness. Then heat some oil and fry the boiled spaghetti in them for 2-3 min. Keep it covered.

Procedure for Chicken & Veggies Gravy:

Heat oil in a pan, and add the chopped onions. Fry until onions are translucent.

Then add ginger garlic paste, followed by chicken cubes. Fry until chicken changes the color into golden brown. Next add the chopped veggies (Carrots, cabbage, spring onions & capsicum). Stir fry for 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is almost done. 

  

Next add all the spices, coriander, chilies, lemon juice, sauces etc. and cook together for 2-3 minutes. Next add the cornflour mixed in water and keep stirring to avoid formation of lumps. Let it cook on low heat for few more minutes. You may alter the quantity of spices and thickness of gravy (I prefer little gravy for this recipe) acc to ur choice and turn off heat. I prefer bit more spicy!

Procedure for Rice:

On the other hand boil 10-12 glasses of water, add some oil (it helps rice not to stick together) and salt (acc to taste) and then add pre-soaked rice for 20 minutes. Wait until rice are about to boil (and not fully boiled). Drain. Put on steam/dum (in a covered pot) for 10 minutes. 

Now comes the Layering:

• Take a dish and cover the bottom of the dish with rice.

• Next add a layer of spaghetti over rice layer.

• Next add mayonnaise sauce in the center of the dish.

• Next pour the chicken gravy over the spaghetti all around the mayo sauce :)

•  All done...... now serve hot..... n enjoy...... ufff yummyy!

A side way look of the dish <3

Note: The above mentioned quantity of spices will result in a very spicy version of this dish. U can adjust the spices according to ur taste.

For the dish to serve warm, what u need to do is to first of all prepare the mayonnaise sauce. Then boil the spaghetti. Then prepare the chicken gravy and on the other side boil the rice. And when about to layer fry the noodles for a minute in 1 tbsp. oil, and do the layering. Instead, u can heat the dish in microwave too after assembling, though I prefer heating on stove and avoid microwave due to its hazardous waves ;) Enjoy!
