This post is dedicated to one of my favourite snacks. A wet rainy day or a cold and chilly wintry evening is just the ideal weather to have a bowl of 'Maggi Noodles'. Kudos to the man / woman who invented maggi noodles. For most of the people in mumbai (or everywhere in india i'd like to think) Maggi is synonymous with 'noodles'. Obviously the reason being that in India Maggi Noodles are the only kind of Noodles for most of the people. Back then when we were kids, the meaning of Maggi for us was 'Noodles'. Or rather, we knew of Maggi before we knew that they were noodles. Such lies the fame of 'The Maggi Noodles' in india. Maggi is actually a subbrand of Nestle. It covers a large range of products such as Maggi sauce, Maggi seasoning cubes, Maggi soups etc. 'Maggi' was brought into existence in 1872 in Swizterland by a man called Julius Maggi. Wikipedia has some interesting facts on 'Maggi' I came to know of the above fact from wiki too. Earlier we used to get 'Maggi noodles' in different flavours. I remember Capsica, a very popular flavour back then. Pity it was discontinued. Then there was masala, which is still available, there is chicken (Dont know why it is called chicken?). There are also two new types, recently launched, Atta noodles and mania. Atta noodles is good. Havent tried 'Mania' (I got scared by the name and never really felt like buying it!!!) The best part of maggi is that its instant and is pretty filling. Not that it'll bloat your stomach. One packet of maggi is a perfect snack. Procedure of making it is rather simple. I think you just boil some 1 1/2 cups of water and.............i dont remember the rest of the recipe........i think its written in the back of the packet, simple isnt it?!!! (hahahaha!!!) So here is the maggi mantra..........
Mummy, Mummy Bhoonk lagi...................
