Method

* Bring a pot of water to boil. Once water starts boiling, add the pasta and boil according to instructions on the package. I boiled 12 to 13 minutes for rigatoni pasta.

* Once the pasta is cooked al-dente, remove pot from heat and drain the pasta using a strainer.

* Then transfer it to a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

* Then add the spices- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon garam masala and 1 teaspoon crushed kasuri methi. Also add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

* Using a spatula, mix until everything is well combined.

* Transfer to an air fryer in a single layer. I had to air fry in 2 batches.

* Air fry at 400 F degrees for 10 minutes until they are crispy and browned. Remember to shake twice in between so that there's even cooking. Transfer to serving plate.
