Recipe: Soupy Noodles

Noodles is an all time favorite for kids as well as adults. I generally make noodles with lots of vegetables to convert it into a healthy treat. This recipe will be slightly soupy making it even more enjoyable on a cold winter night!!!                                 


Ingredients:

  • Maggi Noodles Pack - 1 
  • Water - 2 cups
  • Onion - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
  • Tomato - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
  • Beans - 1/4 cup (chopped)
  • Carrot - 1/4 cup (chopped)
  • Peas - 1/4 cup (chopped)
  • Capsicum - 1/4 cup (chopped)
  • Spinach leaves - 1/3 cup (chopped)
  • Garlic - 1 tbsp (finely chopped)
  • Green chili - 1 (finely chopped)
  • Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Butter - 1 tbsp
  • Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Salt - as per taste
Procedure:

  • First heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and saute capsicum for a minute and set aside. Do not overcook capsicum, it should retain its crunchiness 
  • In the same oil, saute spinach for a minute and set aside
  • Now, add 1 tbsp butter in the pan. After it melts, add chopped garlic and green chili and fry for 30 seconds
  • Add onion and fry till it turns translucent. To this, add tomatoes and fry until it becomes soft
  • Then add beans, carrot, peas, maggi masala, coriander powder, pepper powder and salt and mix well. To this add 1/2 cup of water and allow the vegetables to cook 
  • Once the vegetables are half cooked, add noodles and 1.5 cups water and cook till noodles get cooked well
  • Finally add sauted capsicum and spinach and remove from flame
  • Allow the noodles to settle for 5 minutes and then transfer to a bowl to start slurping while hot!!!

Tips:

  • You can use top ramen or yippee noodles or anything similar in place of maggi noodles
  • You can add mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, soya chunks, tofu, paneer etc. as per your taste
  • Frozen vegetables can also be used, however I prefer fresh ones, as they are healthier
  • Adjust water to get your preferred consistency of the noodles
  • If you like it creamy like me, add a slice of cheese, along with capsicum and spinach and stir well. This elevates the taste to next level!!!

Did Kate Williams Read My Mind? My Review of How to Stop Trying

I am sure we all would have heard this statement more than once in our lives from our parents, teachers, siblings, friends, spouse or even a boss: “Try and try till you achieve your dream or target.” It could be finding the job of your liking, marrying the person you desire, or earning that long-awaited promotion. For many of us, these words become the script of our lives - pushing us to always chase the next milestone, to measure our worth by achievements. But what happens when the constant “trying” becomes exhausting? That's the side of the story untold. What is this book about? This is what Kate Williams’ "How to Stop Trying: An Overachiever's Guide to Self-Acceptance, Letting Go, and Other Impossible Things" talks about. The book isn’t about throwing away ambitions or giving up on our dreams. Instead, it’s about recognizing the hidden cost of endless striving - the burn out, the inability to rest without guilt, the constant sense of “not enough” and learning how t...

Keep Rutabaga Fresh! Storage Tips & 2 Indian Recipes You'll Love

Stepping beyond our usual choices in kitchen can open up a world of exciting flavors and nutrients. All it takes is to try a new vegetable or a cooking style to add novelty to our daily meals. Rutabaga, a vegetable I haven't explored before turned out to be a delightful discovery. If you haven't read my previous article on rutabaga, be sure to check it out here . It gives you a wholistic look at this underrated super vegetable along with a lip smacking Indian-style Rutabaga fry recipe you won't want to miss.  Apart from the fry, I prepared a flavorful Andhra-style karam pulusu and a comforting Tamil-style kootu using rutabaga.

When Dreams Fail, Gratitude Prevails

Recently, I was talking to a friend - let’s call her Smitha. Her husband had a major car accident, and the car was completely destroyed. Along with that, there were legal complications, court cases, penalties - it was a huge mess. When she told me about the accident, my immediate thought was: "You are so blessed. Be thankful. Despite such a major accident, your husband walked away even without a single scratch, and no one else was hurt. That alone is a huge blessing!" Smitha’s husband had been manifesting a Tesla for many years. He had wished for it so deeply, and when the accident happened, she felt upset, thinking all their efforts and plans had gone to waste. They were just starting to get financially settled and had big plans for the future, so this felt like going back to square one. She found herself revisiting old memories - especially the painful ones - and they pulled her down.  These days, the term “manifestation” is everywhere. People talk about visualizing their d...

Rutabaga: An Underrated Superfood & A Delicious Indian Recipe To Try!

Trying something new can feel uncertain, whether it is a new routine or new job or new city or even a new vegetable, as we often find comfort in the familiar. I had reservations about this particular vegetable until I cooked and tasted it. Let me introduce you Rutabaga, a lesser known vegetable (at least for a person from tropical region like me). It is nutrient-rich, flavourful and incredibly easy to prepare.                                              When I first saw Rutabaga in the grocery stores here, I thought it would be from the yam family and ignored it, primarily because of its starch content. In addition, Rutabaga's sheer size always made me think twice to try it. In India, grocery stores sell small portions of vegetables like yam, cabbage or pumpkin, allowing customers purchase only what they need, which is...
