Last week when maggi launched four new limited edition flavors Amritsari Achari, Super Chennai, Bengali Jaal and Mumbaiya Chataka was really excited and looking forward to taste all four noodles at the launch party and masterclass.
When it comes to maggi I'm a huge fan of this brand. We regularly prepare maggi noodles, use stock cubes, masalas and soups and have already posted so many recipes using maggi noodles and maggi products.
Why masalas of India?
India is so richly diverse, a land of countless cultures, festivals, languages & above all many cuisines. Each with its own signature created by use of unique herbs & spices particular to its region. Inspired by this culinary diversity, MAGGI has created this special range of Masala Noodles, aptly christened MAGGI Masalas of India so you get to explore flavours from across the country, in just 2 minutes.
Chef Zaheer Khan created one fusion and one traditional recipe using mumbaiya chataka noodles and bengali jaal noodles. The first dish chef prepared was teriyaki chicken with mumbaiya-chataka-noodles and Spicy Bengali jaal.
What caught my attention was all four noodles are vegetarian its whole wheat noodles and limited edition. Chef Zaheer said its a complete meal when cooked and served with chicken and vegetables.
Amritsari Achari Masala Noodles is packed with pickle spices for a tangy Achari experience. Spices like coriander, cumin, kalonji and red chilli enhance the flavor and taste of this noodles.
