Stir Fried Chilly Noodles
I belong to the class of people who believe that Maggi Noodles is one of the best of human creations. During many weeknights I have found solace in that one bowl of quick-fix dinner, often reminding myself of how my mom would disapprove of the preserves and other stuff added in their masala. Recently, I found plain noodles in the stores, called Chinese Egg Hakka Noodles. I bought two packets and made quick and light noodles for dinner one night. Came out so well that I photographed it immediately :D
Stir Fried Chilly Noodles
What I Used:
Plain noodles - 1 packet
Crushed garlic - 4 cloves
Coarsely ground red chillies - 4
Garam Masala - 1.5 tsp
Turmeric - one pinch
Coriander leaves - for garnishing
Salt - to taste
How I Made It:
1. Cook the noodles in sufficient water with added salt. Adding a little oil to this makes the noodles not stick together. One done, drain the water and keep aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil. Lightly fry the garlic, chilly, masala and turmeric and then add the noodles. Adjust oil and let the noodles fry for a while. Remove from fire, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
How do you make your noodles quick and flavourful?

I love maggi noodles too. But I do not follow the procedure given in the packet. I always drain the excess water althought the recipe dosen't ask me to do so.Your recipe and the picture looks very tempting. Pass me on that plate of spicy noodles. I'll be so grateful to you.
ReplyDeleteNags, this is cool I agree Maggi is a life saver, hey you should try the indo-chineese maggi noodles boy if its not for the calories I would eat it every day :)
ReplyDeletegarlic/chili does elevate the flavor of the noodles :)
ReplyDeletethough hv to say, have not had much of maggi
My noodles are always very spicy. A tad more than our regular eats. Hakka noodles, particularly, has to be fiery hot. The first pic is nice and bright :)
