When I was in 7th grade, I remember being introduced to Maggi 2 mins noodles. It wasn't love at first eat, neither it ended up being an acquired taste. A couple of years later I ended up eating Top Ramen Noodles and that's what I loved eating for a quick bite. Growing up I remember Amma buying both Maggi for rest and Top Ramen for me alone.
We used to twist it in many ways, added vegetables to get over the guilt of eating Noodles. However since it was an occasional treat, it was fine. We even took this for our travels for dinners. Those were my best memories of enjoying train journeys.
So when I was thinking of what else I enjoyed after coming home from school, I remembered these spiced up noodles, all Indian style!
Boys are so crazy of Maggi, that they will do anything when you promise them Maggi and have even got a deal of Saturday dinner as Maggi. Once when Hubby dear wasn't around I wanted to make Noodles for myself to and made Top Ramen. After the aroma that came out, they were keen on only that. So it's an alternative weeks now.
I made this for a change and Konda liked it a lot and I decided I could make it occasionally as well.

Before Maggi noodles came to India my father introduced us to homemade Chinese noodles. Loved the way he made those. You have spiced up the noodles like a curry. Nice pictures.

Chef Mireille says
Ramen noodles are a staple for college kids here because they were so cheap. When I was in college, I could buy them 10 packages for $1. After eating so much of them when I was in school, I really can't stomach them now.
But your Indian spiced up version must be so good.
