Maggi Microwave Medley

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Maggi microwave medley (3M) is my standard way of cooking any packet noodle (e.g. Ramen, Wai Wai). I like using Maggi Masala because I love the spice sachet inside it (Maggi’s version of curry powder) .

Maggi Masala Packet

Maggi noodle and spice inside the sachet.

1 cup water (more for soupy, less for dry), thinly sliced onions, frozen peas (add whatever fresh or frozen vegetables you have on hand)

Cooked for 3 and half minute. Make sure to stir once in the middle.
CAUTION! Bowl will be HOT!
You can eat right now or for extra protein and creaminess in sauce…

Egg. Beat it.

Half minute in the microwave.

Finito!

The Samosa Chat

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Homemade samosa chats are one of my favorite dinners whenever I am yearning for chat. I buy samosa from a local Indian store/restaurant and freeze individually in a small sandwich Ziploc bags. Here is my recipe for a relatively healthy and balanced diet from deep fried potatoes and flour.

Frozen samosa right out of the freezer. (Mashed potatoes and deep fried flour freeze well.)

Samosa after being microwaved for 2 minutes on high (time may vary).

Canned chickpeas (washed), chopped tomatoes and onions. More salad type diced vegetables make it filling, healthy as well as adds a personal touch.

Plain fatfree yogurt (i.e., curd for all desis).

Chat masala (and black salt) since I like it spicy. Alternatively add some salt to taste.

Mix and mash together.

Sprinkle generously with alu bhujia (and sweet tamarind chutney).

Eat Eat Eat (Why repeat words?)

Finito!
