3 cups rotini pasta
1 1/3 cups light Italian dressing, plus more as needed
2 cups broccoli florets
3 green onions, minced
1/2 cup grape tomatoes
1/3 cup carrot, chopped
salt
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
chili flakes (optional)
Spice Mix (use 1 1/2 Tablespoons)
1/4 cup cumin seed
1/4 cup coriander seed
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/2 teaspoon asafoetida powder

1
Dry roast the Spice Mix spices, except for the ginger powder and the paprika. Whizz it to a powder in your coffee grinder, then mix in the ginger powder and paprika. Set aside.
2
Cook the pasta until it is done but still somewhat firm. Rinse with cold water.
3
Combine the pasta with the vegetables in a large bowl. Stir in the salad dressing. Add salt and 1 1/2 Tb of the spice mix.
4
In a small skillet, heat a dab of oil until it is sizzle-hot. Add the black mustard seeds. As soon as they have quit popping, dump them in the pasta bowl.
5
Mix everything together. Cover and refrigerate. It's best to let it chill at least an hour before chow time, if you can stand it.
