    1

    Begin by cooking the noodles according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    2

    Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until it becomes translucent.

    3

    Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    4

    Now, add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

    5

    Stir in the chopped tomato and green chili, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the tomato softens.

    6

    Add the chickpeas, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 3-4 minutes, letting the spices blend.

    7

    Combine the cooked noodles with the chicken mixture, stirring gently to incorporate everything. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

How to be creative
  • Add a dash of soy sauce for an Asian twist.

  • Top with roasted peanuts or cashews for extra texture.
Important Tips
  • Ensure the chicken is cut into small, uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Use fresh spices for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the noodles; they should be firm as they will continue cooking in the pan.
