Maggi noodles are an Indian snack-time favorite, packed with crisp veggies and aromatic spices. Ideal for a speedy snack, a savory breakfast, or a fun addition to a child's lunchbox, these masala noodles bring joy to any mealtime!
Start by heating some oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in mustard seeds and green chili, and wait for them to sizzle.
Add the onions and cook them until they're soft and and translucent.
Add in the tomatoes and cook until they break down and become saucy.
Now, add a colorful mix of carrots, mushrooms, green beans, and peas, and stir-fry for a couple of minutes.
Sprinkle in the Maggi tastemaker and blend it well with the veggies.
Pour in water and let it bubble away for about a minute.
Gently drop in the noodle cubes, making sure they're bathed in the spicy water.
Give the noodles a good stir to prevent any sticking and to cook them evenly.
Close the lid and let it simmer on a gentle heat for 3 minutes.
Open the lid, give the noodles a gentle toss.
Finish off by garnishing with a handful of chopped coriander leaves, and there you have it - your Vegetable masala Maggi noodles are ready to dig in!
