Maggi Pakoda Recipe: One of the most recent innovations in the realm of street food recipes using maggi noodles. Because of its appearance and crispness, the recipe is frequently mistaken for onion pakora, but it has its own distinct taste and flavour. It’s one of the simplest pakoda recipes, and it only takes a few minutes to prepare, even with the 2-minute maggi noodles.
Since the introduction of 2 minute maggi noodles, it has been praised for more than just its taste. However, it has also given rise to a plethora of fusion and creative recipes utilising cooked maggi noodles. Maggi pakora or maggi pakoda, made with cooked noodles and deep fried, is a popular cosmopolitan or urban dweller recipe.
As previously stated, the appearance of maggi pakoda is very similar to the recipe for onion pakora. Essentially, when deep fried with besan and corn flour coating, the noodles produce the same results as onion crisp. In addition to the maggi noodles, I’ve added finely sliced vegetables such as carrots, capsicum, and onions. As a whole, this makes a complete noodle-based vegetable pakoda. However, the maggi bhajiya can be made simply with noodles and no vegetables. Personally, I prefer it this way because just noodles can be overwhelming, and adding vegetables of your choice helps to balance out the strong maggi tastemaker flavour.
In addition, I’d like to offer some suggestions and tips for making this simple maggi pakoda recipe. First and foremost, when cooking the maggi noodles, use a small amount of water. For example, if you add 1 cup water to 1 maggi packet, cut it in half. This ensures that the mixture contains less moisture and absorbs less oil when deep fried. Second, once the vegetables and flour have been added, do not overmix or the noodles will break and become mushy. Finally, for proper and even cooking, deep frying should be done on a medium to low flame. Also, cook the maggi balls in small batches and avoid overcrowding the deep frying oil kadai.
