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!!!
