Notes:
- Boiling the pasta to the right state is integral as overcooked pasta is not quite appetizing.
- While making the sauce frying the maida is important to let go of its raw taste and adding milk gradually is necessary so no lumps are formed.
- You can always alter the amount of heat you like by adding less or more chili flakes.
- Always keep stirring the sauce as it should not stick to the bottom of the pan. The sauce will keep on thickening after removed from the heat so always check for its right consistency.
