Maggi is an emotion, an unsaid love that has happened to everyone. It's a savior in times of hunger and a show stopper in Netflix and chill. Maggi brings nostalgia and lot of stories with it. We all remember late night maggi munching, tiffin wali school maggi, evening maggi with cold drink after a playful day in the park, birthday party wali maggi, cousins get to gather wali maggi and the endless list. A simple pack of noodles and masala but an unending trail of recipes and possible ways to cook Maggi.
Be it any brand of instant noodles we address them as Maggi only. Let us make instant noodles in the most interesting way.
Veg-Tadka Maggi
This is a complete Indian version of Maggi for the people who love desi flavor above everything.
INGREDIENTS
Chopped vegetables( onions, capsicum, carrot, cabbage, peas, tomato)
Chopped green chilies- spicy is desi
Maggi !! obviously
Chopped coriander- any desi dish is incomplete without it
Butter- for that extra flavor
RECIPE
Take a Kadai (iron Kadai preferred) and heat the butter/mustard oil ( tastes better in oil).
Put cumin seeds and chilies and roast them.
Add chopped onions and stir fry until golden brown.
Add chopped tomatoes and roast them until they change color.
Add peas, cabbage, carrot, and stir fry the veggies.
Add salt, turmeric, coriander powder, and red chili powder mix well, and stir fry.
Add water (enough to submerge the veggies and noodles).
Bring to boil and add Maggi masala and empty the noodle break only in two parts.
Let the noodles dissolve and stir occasionally using a fork.
Add chopped capsicum once the Maggi is almost cooked.
Turn off the gas and cover it with a lid or plate and leave for a while. (Maggi cooks better in steam and less water)
Open the lid garnish with coriander and serve hot.
Caution- adding too much water can result in over boiling the noodles. To cook them Al-Dante add very less water in the beginning, you can always add more later.
