How noodles are usually made?
Noodles are usually made by using a dough that could be atta/ wheat flour or maida/all purpose flour simply mixed with water and made into a dough and creating long strips of the dough.
They can be either cooked or fried and made into any dish of our liking.
Making noodles at home could be quite stressful and for all those who are fond of noodles can now head to the supermarkets and find readily available noodles and make recipes in just a couple of minutes.
What makes this recipe so simple?
- I can guarantee that this is a life saver recipe in appetite as it is quick and instant.
- The simplest part about this recipe is everything is readily available within the packet.
- The maggi packet consists of ready made maggi masala powder inside the pack as well as the noodles.
- The contents of the pack are cooked together with water for 2-3 minutes.

Readily available packets are already available in markets in several brands and look out for that kind of packets which already consist of noodles and the masala powder or the tastemaker along with it.
The trick is to just saute some veggies and cook the noodles and the masala/tastemaker together in some water without overcooking them.

Several veggies such as beans, green onions, bell peppers and several other veggies can be used to make these noodles.

- Adding vegetables makes it more tasty healthy and tasty.
- Do not add too much of water as the noodles get mushy if too much water is added.
- Always maintain a ratio of 1:1 that is if one cup of water to one pack of noodles on a safer side.

No, the tastemaker comes with the packet and this recipe is using the maggi noodles packet and with the tastemaker that comes with it.
Yes, adding veggies our own choice is helpful to get a good taste. Adding onions, carrots, beans gives good taste than any other veggies.
Adding them enhances the flavors of the plain maggi and adding vegetables makes it healthier than just eating plain noodles.
Yes, stir-fried scrambled eggs can be added in the end to make it in a different way but if looking forward to make only vegetable maggi then it is better to skip eggs.

I feel scared to eat maggi after I came to know that it has high sodium and lead content in it.
