How to Make Veg Maggi – Step-by-Step Guide
Whether you’re cooking on a gas stove or using a modern induction cooktop, the method is simple and deliciously foolproof. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Prep Your Veggies
Wash and finely chop all your vegetables before you start. The finer the chop, the quicker they cook. If you're using frozen peas or corn, give them a quick rinse.
Step 2: Heat Oil and Saute
-
Place a pan on your Wipro Vesta Induction Cooktop, and press the “Curry” or “Boil” function for optimal heating. Add a tablespoon of oil or butter.
-
Once hot, sauté onions until translucent. Add in green chilies (if using) and ginger for aroma. Follow this up with harder vegetables first, like carrots and beans, then add capsicum, peas, and tomatoes.
-
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the veggies soften but remain colourful and slightly crunchy.
Step 3: Add Spices and Water
-
Now add a pinch of turmeric and chili flakes if you like it spicy. Stir well
-
Pour in 2 cups of water, and bring it to a boil using the timer cooking function on your induction cooktop so you can multitask without overcooking.
Step 4: Add Noodles and Masala
-
Once the water is bubbling, break the Maggi noodle cakes in half and add them to the pan. Add the tastemaker (Maggi masala) from the packets. Stir gently.
-
Let the noodles cook for 2-3 minutes. You can stir occasionally, but don't overdo it, you want the noodles to remain intact and slightly springy.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
-
Once the water has been absorbed and the noodles are perfectly cooked, switch off the cooktop.
-
Garnish with chopped coriander or a sprinkle of grated cheese if you're feeling indulgent.
-
Serve hot, preferably with a side of chai or warm soup.
Tips to Elevate Your Vegetable Maggi:
While classic Maggi never fails, a few simple tweaks can take your rainy-day noodles from good to unforgettable.
- Add protein: Toss in paneer cubes or a boiled egg.
- Make it cheesy: Stir in a cube of processed cheese right before serving.
- Go soupy: Add an extra half-cup of water if you prefer your Maggi with more broth.
- Add flavour bombs: A dash of soy sauce or schezwan sauce takes the flavour to the next level.
