Masmirus spagetti

 So  I wanted to share a simple recipe using minimum ingredients, when I  came up with this simple pasta dish. 

There are so many families affected by the recent lockdowns and some are trying hard to keep their heads above their water. So I am trying my best to share recipes that are simple to make but still a winner with the family especially the kids. 

Masmirus is a staple in my store cupboard. It is a spicy mixture of dried tuna, curry leaves, and dried chillies all ground, and fried into a bottle of yumminess.  My husband's aunt makes the best masmirus, although we ran out of it for ages.

Have tried different brands of masmirus, the one that we love is the Masmirus brand. 

This recipe is very similar is an even easier version of my fast and easy pasta dish.  Since everyone seems to love Aglio Olio, I decided to skip the dried chilli and added masmirus instead, along with some fresh curry leaves and a little lime juice and of course loads of garlic.
