Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat and add chopped onions and bell peppers. Cook until soft and translucent then add ginger and garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add tandoori masala, kashmiri chilli powder and salt and cook for a minute then stir in chicken. Mix well and cook until tender and excess moisture has evaporated. Reduce heat to medium-low and add pureed tomato tins. Mix well and cook until the sauce has reduced and thickened. In the meantime boil the pasta and make the bechamel sauce; melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stirring constantly cook for 2-3 minutes. Stirring continuously whisk in a little of the milk at a time, until you have a smooth, thick sauce. Remove from the heat, stir in salt, black pepper. Preheat oven to 80°c. Once the sauce has thickened remove from heat and stir in sweetcorn and boiled pasta. Mix well and transfer to an ovenproof dish. Pour bechamel over the pasta and top with grated cheddar. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
