Vegan rosé pasta with veggies.

Recipe — i coarsely ground peanuts instead of cashews since the former is less expensive. The sauce would have been finer if I’d used the right mixer. I used cucumber instead of zucchini — roasted cucumbers are delicious! I also roasted cherry tomatoes with the carrots and cucumber.

Finally, I topped off the cooked sauce with some pannai keerai (silver cockscomb or plumed cockscomb leaves) — just wilted it in.

I made enough sauce to last me a few meals.

Manathakkali keerai (Black Night Shade in English) helps in healing mouth and stomach ulcers. Being a very important ingredient in Indian medicine, it also helps to improve eyesight, alleviate gut problems and reduce urinary infections.
