The weather was perfect, we enjoyed a long walk and were settling in to watch IPL (Indian Premier League Cricket) match. There was just the question of dinner. We looked around in the fridge and pantry and saw the Maggi packets peeping out. We always keep a couple of packets for moments like this. For this meal we decided to jazz up our dinner.
Growing up we both liked Maggi plain, without any additions, just like they showed it in the advertisements. We can't do that anymore. For this meal, we cooked the Maggi as per the instructions, then tempered oil with cumin seeds and chopped onions, then add some chopped carrots, peas and beans and mix it with the Maggi noodles.
We then topped with some sauted Tofu, cilantro and a wedge of lime. One satisfying meal. How do you like your Maggi?

mmm..looks awesome!! i usually like my maggi plain. But sometimes i like it with a couple of green chillies, 1/4 of an onion and 1/2 a tomato all put in with the masala and maggi and cooking it. We used to get maggi this way in our college and thats why i like it this way..nostalgia!! :)
I love my maggi boiled with whatever I can dunk in .. onions, green chillies, green peas, tomatoes, eggs, coriander leaves .. reminds me of my student days ... we were only allowed to boil stuff ... no cooking. :-)
Snap ta ki shundor Mandira! :-)
I love maggi too, we don't get them here, get the Ramen noodles not maggi.
When eve ri am in India i buy them there to eat it as a snack.

BTW, I think Ashwin met my in laws on the train from Chicago. They were talking about him and I heard them say his wife is Mandira and I thought it was too much of a coincidence for it not to be you!

Hey, adding tofu is a great way to convince ourselves that Maggi isn't all bad. :) I like mine with a handful of crunchy, sliced onions, loads of cilantro and lemon, and a good helping of a shredded omelet. Yum--comfort food at its best!
Has anyone just tried to add maggi hot and sweet tomato chilli sauce to regular maggi? It is Heavenly!!
It looks very goods
