Maggi, is like that friend with which the adage ‘A friend in need, is a friend indeed’ perfectly goes well. It is one of the easiest meals to make, especially if you are not in a mood to put your apron or if you just want a quick bite of something.
But the secret ingredient that enhances the flavour of our favourite instant noodle is the tasty packaged masala that comes with it. But, owing to the growing demand for using simple organic ingredients at home, what if we tell you that you can easily prepare the masala at home?
