How to Make Corn Twist Pasta
Step 1: Prep the Fresh Ingredients
Finely chop the tomatoes, onion, green capsicum and yellow capsicum. Drain the boiled kidney beans and chickpeas well so there is no excess moisture.
Step 2: Make the Tangy Dressing
In a large mixing bowl, combine tomato ketchup, sweet chilli sauce, chilli sauce, lemon juice and chaat masala. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.
Step 3: Build the Base
Add the kidney beans, chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, onion, green capsicum, yellow capsicum and sliced jalapeños to the dressing.
Step 4: Toss Everything Together
Gently mix until the vegetables and beans are evenly coated with the tangy-spicy dressing.
Step 5: Bring in the Crunch
Just before serving, add Makinos Corn Munch. Toss gently so the spiral pieces pick up the flavours without losing their signature crunch.
Step 6: Serve Fresh
Transfer immediately to a serving bowl. Finish with extra jalapeño slices or fresh coriander and serve while the Corn Munch is still perfectly crisp.
Pro Crunch Tip
Always add Makinos Corn Munch at the very end. The longer it sits in the dressing, the softer it becomes. Mix, serve and crunch immediately for the best texture.
