Quick Butter Chilli Garlic Noodles

Well, well...neither do I blog regularly, nor do I cook. Documenting my recipes is well out of question. But when a friend literally pestered me for this, I penned it down to email it to her
and thought time for some 'ek teer do nishane'. Good thing now I won't say for a while, I haven't blogged in ages!! :D So, Here it is...

Warning: Not for the calorie conscious!!!

**Boil noodles al dente, drain and keep in the fridge to enjoy this snack anytime**

1) Heat a good amount of butter in a wide flat pan
2) Add thinly sliced garlic (more the better) :D
3) When the garlic starts to brown lightly, a generous sprinkling of paprika/red chilli powder
4) Add the noodles to it. (The noodles has to be cold -- fridge cold or otherwise but it can't be warm coz if it is they'll not retain their shape well eventually)
5) Stir every now & then
6) Add salt to taste
7) When the noodles, seem to be thoroughly heated up, increase the flame just a little bit and let some of the noodles brown and get crunchy.
8) You should finally end up with a good mix of half-crispy, half-not
9) Dig into this heavenly bowl of very buttery, very garlicky noodles

P.S. The trick is to not crowd the noodles, so a big pan and less quantity (one or 2 person worth) is ideal
