Tadka Maggi Recipe

📝Ingredients:
• 1 packet Maggi noodles
• 1 cup water
• 1 tbsp oil or butter
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 1 small tomato (finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup capsicum (finely chopped)
• 1-2 green chilies (chopped)
• 1/4 tsp red chili powder
• 1/4 tsp turmeric (optional)
• 1/4 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp pav bhaji masala (optional but adds street-style flavour)
• Salt required
• Maggi tastemaker (from the packet)
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
• Optional: Cheese, lemon juice, or chili flakes

🍽️Instructions:

1. Saute veggies:
   • Heat oil or butter on a tawa (flat pan) or regular pan.
   • Add onions and green chilies. Saute until translucent.
   • Add tomatoes and capsicum. Cook until soft.
2. Add spices:
   • Add red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, pav bhaji masala, and a pinch of salt.
   • Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes until spices are cooked.
3. Add noodles:
   • Break the Maggi noodles and add to the pan.
   • Pour 1 cup water and add the Maggi tastemaker.
   • Mix well and let it cook uncovered, stirring occasionally.
4. Takka (charred) style finish:
   • Once cooked, let the Maggi stay on the tawa for 1-2 extra minutes on low flame.
   • Stir only slightly to get those crispy, smoky bits.
5. Garnish & serve:
   • Garnish with fresh coriander and a dash of lemon juice.
   • Top with grated cheese or chili flakes if desired.
   ✔️Tips:
   • Use a large flat tawa for authentic street-style texture.
   • Add butter for a richer flavour.
   • You can add boiled sweet corn, peas, or paneer for variation.
