Ingredients

- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 3 Green Chili, slited
- ¼ cup Carrots, chopped
- ¼ cup Mushroom, chopped
- ¼ cup Green Beans, chopped
- ¼ cup Peas
- ¼ cup Onion, chopped

Instructions
Preparing Vegetable Maggi Noodles
- Begin by heating some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and a slit green chili. Wait for the mustard seeds to start popping and the chili to sizzle, releasing their aromas.
- Add finely chopped onions to the pan. Cook them until they are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. This helps them sweeten and enhances the flavor base.
- Incorporate chopped tomatoes next. Cook them until they break down into a thick, mushy consistency.
- Add a colorful mix of diced carrots, sliced mushrooms, chopped green beans, and peas. Stir-fry these for a couple of minutes until they're just tender but still vibrant and crunchy.
- Sprinkle in the Maggi tastemaker. Stir well to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices, enhancing their flavor.
- Carefully pour enough water to just cover the vegetables, allowing the mixture to come to a lively simmer. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Add the noodle cubes gently, making sure to distribute them evenly across the pan to ensure they are fully submerged in the flavorful broth.
- Stir the noodles gently to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Ensure they're spread evenly for consistent cooking.
- Close the lid and allow the noodles to simmer on low heat for about 3 minutes. This helps the noodles absorb the flavors and cook perfectly.
- Open the lid, give the noodles a final gentle toss to mix everything well and fluff them up.
- Finish by garnishing with a generous handful of freshly chopped coriander leaves. This adds a fresh burst of flavor and color. Your Vegetable Masala Maggi Noodles are now ready to be enjoyed!

Chef's Notes and Tips
- Go Healthier: If you can, use whole wheat or multigrain noodles. Also, try using less of the spice packet and more natural spices to cut down on sodium.
- Vegetable Options: I often use mushrooms, carrots, peas, and green beans. Feel free to toss in broccoli, sweet corn, or any veggies you like for an extra health kick.
- Protein Add-Ins: For a heartier dish, consider adding paneer, eggs, or chicken.
- Fat Choices: I typically use oil, but you can also try ghee or butter for a richer flavor.
- Adjust the Heat: Feel free to add more heat by increasing the green chilies or by adding a pinch of red chili flakes if you like it hot! If you prefer a milder taste, simply reduce or omit them.
- A Squeeze of Citrus: Try serving your noodles with a wedge of lemon or lime. A quick squeeze adds a zesty twist that really brightens up the flavors.
- Single-Pot vs. Separate: You can cook everything together in one pot for simplicity, or cook the noodles separately and then stir-fry them with the masala and veggies for a bit of crunch.
- Local Street Flavors: Give your noodles a street-food twist by incorporating cheese, coriander, and mint chutney into the usual flavor packet.
- Warm Soups: For those cooler days, a Maggi noodle soup can be very soothing. Add some protein if you like for a more filling meal.

Serving Suggestions
Maggie noodles are a perfect match for an array of flavorful dishes. For a truly delightful meal, I like to enjoy them with classics like Chicken Manchurian, Chilli Chicken, Chilli Paneer, Chicken 65, or Gobi 65. Each of these accompaniments enhances the noodles with their unique and vibrant flavors.
Storage Suggestions
- Enjoy Fresh: I always say that Masala Maggi noodles are a treat best enjoyed right off the stove. Since instant noodles can lose their charm if they sit too long, I don't recommend storing them in the fridge or freezer. To really savor the flavors, make sure to serve these noodles warm.
- Creative Leftovers: If you ever find yourself with leftovers, there's no need to throw them away. I love getting creative in the kitchen! You can turn those leftover noodles into delicious cutlets, stuff them into an omelet, wrap them in spring rolls, or even mix them into bread balls for a tasty snack later. It’s a fun and delicious way to make the most out of your Maggi noodles!

I used the Maggi Vegetable flavour and it turned out great! Subbed out the mushrooms for some corn and added frozen mixed veggies instead and some chicken.
