Maggi Noodles with Vegetables

(Ready to Cook/Instant )Maggie Noodles stir fried with sauted veggies

Sauted Ready to Cook Noodles

I am sure Maggie Noodles are favourites of lot of people, atleast people who lived in hostels during college days can vouch for this simple late night snack or rather food/light meal, I guess. During engineering, my hostel friends  used to keep a box filled with these noodles packets. Growing up for me, I had never ventured into eating these ready to cook noodles, even  with those advertisements showing..just 2 minutes. I only grew fond of these while in Pune. These days my pantry is stocked up with maggie noodles., and so everytime I have this new way of preparing the noodles, far from the cooking instructions mentioned on the package. You can prepare this with a different variety  or brand of noodles like Top Ramen and use different veggies of your choice. Do add sliced cabbage as it gives a nice crunch, i however did not have it when I prepared this.

Ingredients:

2 packs of maggie noodles with masala

1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

1/2 yellow bell pepper, chopped

1/2 onion, sliced

1/2 cup carrots, chopped

1/2 cup spring onions, chopped

1/2 cup frozen peas

4 green chillies, minced

1 tsp sambar masala

1 1/2 tbsp of oil

salt

Preparation Method:

1. Take out the noodles from the packet and soak them in warm water for 5 - 7 minutes. Drain the water and squeeze to remove any extra water. Keep aside.(This step makes it the hatke version  :-))

2. Heat oil in a pan,. Add the minced green chillies, sliced onions and saute.

3. Add all the remaining veggies and saute so that the veggies are slightly cooked.

4. Add in the masala or the seasoning mix that comes in the packet, also add tsp of sambar masala and little salt.Mix  (Since I've used lot of veggies, I added extra sambar masala. Also use little salt since the seasoning mix will also have salt into it.)

5. Now mix in the noodles and saute or stir fry so that the noodles, veggies and seasoning is mixed

6. Serve it as a light meal, or any time you feel hungry!

Preparation Time: 15 mins

Serves: 2 - 3

Note: If using less amount of veggies, there is no need of using the sambar masala.
Prepare in a non-stick pan so that noodles don't stick to the pan
