Only a kooky cook like me can convert a 2 minute Maggi into a 45 minute elaborate recipe, right?! But this is – by far – the BEST Maggi I have cooked.

In case you are interested in trying out the recipe in your kitchen, worry not. Most of the time goes in preparing the vegetables. The actual cooking time is about 10-12 minutes.

one-pot, one-step, mouthwatering Maggi

Unlike my previous versions, this is a one-step method which does away with oil and stir-fry business. It was suggested to me by my flatmate friend who introduced me to Maggi in the first place. I was a bit unsure as to how it would turn out since I don’t like the thought of boiled onions (!) but she convinced me to give it a go. And no regrets.

I still have one more round of Maggi to get through after which we will observe Maggi moratorium ;-).

2 Sachets Maggi tastemaker
