Maggi noodles are a go-to comfort food for many, but plain Maggi can sometimes feel too simple. Adding vegetables and spices not only enhances the flavor but also makes it a bit healthier. This Indian street-style masala Maggi is spicy, flavorful, and super satisfying.

We don’t eat Maggi regularly, but once in a while, it feels like a treat—especially on rainy days, low-mood days, or while traveling. That warm, spicy bowl of noodles feels comforting, but I personally find it a bit heavy on the stomach, so I avoid having it too often. If you love Maggi and want to give it a delicious twist, this veg masala Maggi is a must-try!

Let’s Talk About Ingredients

• Maggi Noodles & Masala – The star ingredient, giving the dish its classic taste. You can replace it with whole wheat or millet noodles for a healthier version.
• Vegetables – Carrots, beans, peas, onions, and tomatoes add texture and nutrients. You can also add capsicum, corn, or cabbage.
• Spices – Turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala bring in bold Indian flavors.
• Green Chili & Ginger Garlic Paste – Give the dish a slightly spicy and aromatic touch.
• Water – The right amount ensures that the noodles cook perfectly without turning mushy.
