Top 5 viral Maggi recipes that you must try:

1. Tandoori Maggi (The Smoky Twist)

Ever wondered what happens when Maggi meets a BBQ tandoori vibe? Absolute magic. Tandoori Maggi takes your regular noodles and gives them a spicy, smoky upgrade perfect for those who love bold flavors.

Start by cooking your Maggi the usual way, but hold off on the masala packet for now. While that’s happening, heat some oil in a pan and toss in chopped onions, capsicum, and tomatoes. Add a generous spoonful of tandoori masala (yes, the same stuff you’d use for chicken) and stir until the veggies are coated and sizzling. And the fun part now is to add your cooked Maggi along with the seasoning packet. Toss everything together so that the noodles soak up all that rich, smoky flavor. For that perfect desi touch, hold a piece of burning charcoal in a small foil bowl, place it in the center of your pan, and drizzle some ghee on top. Cover it for 2 minutes to infuse that perfect BBQ aroma. Trust me, this one’s a total game-changer. Bonus points if you top it with a handful of grated cheese.

2. Pizza Maggi (Two Favourites, together)

Why choose between pizza and Maggi when you can have both? Pizza Maggi is that glorious fusion dish you never knew you needed and it’s ridiculously easy to make.

First, cook your Maggi as usual but keep it a little dry and saucy rather than soupy. In a separate pan, spread a layer of Maggi like a pizza base. Now go wild with toppings add diced onions, bell peppers, sweet corn, or even pepperoni if you’re feeling fancy. Next, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese all over (the more, the better). Cover the pan with a lid and let the cheese melt until it’s gooey and bubbly. For that true pizza vibe, sprinkle some oregano, chili flakes, and a dash of pizza sauce on top. One bite of this cheesy goodness, and you’ll forget pizzas ever existed.

3. Butter Chicken Maggi (for a Little Extra Drama)

This recipe is pure royalty. Think of the rich, creamy vibes of butter chicken, but now imagine them wrapped in the star that is Maggi noodles yep, it sounds as good as it does.

Add a spoonful of butter chicken masala or a mix of garam masala, cumin, and coriander, and stir until your kitchen smells like heaven. Now comes the exciting part: just pour in a dollop of fresh cream along with a drizzle of tomato puree and stir well into a luscious, velvety sauce. Next, add cooked Maggi. Toss with the deliciously buttery and creamy butter chicken sauce. This is complete for the authentic feel of India done simply by garnishing it with fresh coriander and melted butter.
