Beetroot Maggi Masala is one of the healthiest and eye catchy variations of instant Maggi masala noodles. It is the amalgamation of boiled Maggi noodles with healthy Beetroot, Onions, Garlic and some spices. It is mostly served as breakfast or snacks.

Beetroot Maggi Masala is a very simple and easy recipe which gets prepared within half an hour. To prepare this delectable dish, other than instant Maggi noodles, very limited and regularly used ingredients required.

I have experimented a lot with Maggi noodles and have already prepared hundreds of recipes with it. But today’s recipe is really very special to me. I was suffering from anaemia during my college days and doctor had suggested me to eat Beetroots. But unfortunately, I don’t like to eat Beetroot.

So, I started experimenting with the vegetable and Beetroot Maggi Masala is one of the success stories of those experiments which turned my hatred into love for Beetroots. This instant noodle recipe is not only healthy and delectable but is also visually supper attractive with its ravishing red colour.

Normally, kids try to avoid vegetables in their meals and specially when it comes to Beetroots. From kids to adults, Maggi noodles has made the nation crazy with its irresistible taste. I personally believe, Beetroot Maggi Masala is one of best ways to add Beetroot in anyone’s diet.

My childhood and college days with Maggi noodles

During my childhood, Sundays meant waking up late and watching “Jungle book” with a bowl of Maggi noodles. It was like a tradition to have Maggi noodles in breakfast and Mutton in lunch on Sundays.

I am a big Maggi noodles fan and I still remember how my Mom used to experiment Maggi noodles in different ways on every Sunday for me and my elder brother. I can never forget those Golden days. This is the common story of every house if they born and brought up in India.

During my college days, when I used to stay in hostel, we used to call Maggi as our best friend. Nothing can be more reliable than Maggi for college students and bachelors as well. In case of any food crisis, Maggi is the instant solution. In fact, for newly wedded couples, who are not comfortable in cooking, can also start their innings with instant Maggi noodles.

Reason behind the popularity of Maggi Noodles

Health benefits of Beetroot

In this preparation, I have used Onions and Garlic other than the sachets of Maggi masala powder. Beetroot itself has an earthy flavour and while it is cooked in Onions and Garlic, it absolutely smells divine. Nothing different happened with this recipe too.

In this preparation, first I have boiled the noodles and strained the excess water. It makes the noodles healthier because they release their excess fat into the water during the time of boiling.

I have not boiled the noodles to 100% because the noodles become soggy due to overcooking when they get mixed up in heat with Beetroots and spices.

Ingredients:

• 2 packets of Maggi masala noodles
• 2 sachets of Maggi masala powder
• 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 Beetroot, grated
• 3-4 cloves of Garlic, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon Cumin powder
• ¼ teaspoon Coriander powder
• ½ teaspoon Chilli powder
• Salt to taste

   Tip: If you boil and cook the noodles fully (Step 1), later the noodles may become a little bit Soggy. You would not be able to get the proper texture then.

7. Once the noodles are done, drain away the water and spread the noodles on a plate to cool down.
