This recipe is for those moments when you crave for something chatpata,or when you dream of chaat(like I usually do), something quick to satisfy your cravings 
I learnt this recipe from Nestle company people,who had come to my friend’s house to give a demo of their products.This recipe appealed to all the ladies present.Now all this happened long back , about10 yrs back, but I still make it. My kids love it.It hardly takes few minutes to assemble it 
All you require is a Maggi pack(veg masala flavour), Tomato ketchup,onions, coriander n tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS:-Maggi -1packet
Tomato ketchup-2Tbsp (you can add more according to taste)
Onion – 1 small finely cut
Tomato -1 small finely cut
Coriander leaves- 1 T bsp
Green chillis -1 finely cut (optional)
Boiled potato cubes-1 Tbsp ( optional)
Fried pea nuts 1Tbsp ( optional)
Fine besan bhujia or sev -(optional)
METHOD:- Crush the noodles with a rolling pin , without opening the packet. Literally beat up the packet 
Open the pack and dry roast the noodles in a pan, without adding any any oil !! ! Roast it till the colour changes to golden brown.
In the mean while cut the onions , tomatoes, coriander leaves,boiled potatoes finely.
Open the masala pouch which comes along with the noodles. Add tomato ketchup plus 2-3 Tbsp of water to the masala and mix. No cooking !!!
Add the onions etc+ masala mix(acts like a chutney)to the roasted noodles mix well.
Eat n enjoy!!!!

Maybe a hit of lime too? Nice recipe. But i have heard eating kachha noodles is not that great for digestion. Maybe thats why it is roasted. Will definitely give it a try. About ur comment…Orzo is a variety of pasta that is shapped like rice. May not be available in India though.
Hi Hema,
Good idea, lime will make it tangy too. I like this tip,never thought of it earlier.Yes I think it is roasted to aid in digestion, ,becoz no cooking is involved in the whole recipe other than roasting
Thanx for the info for Orzo.You are right it is not available here.But I saw tiny macoroni made by Bambino co. specially for soups. I can substitute them for Orzo

HI Archana,
wow…I LOVE maggi! you know, I really miss the old flavors like Capsicum,Lasaniya and sweet&sour, we don’t get them anymore!
Maggi bhel is a nice idea…LOVE masala maggi, and also the new, healthier, Atta one too.
Have they come up with any new flavors in India, Archana?
Hi Trupti,
)))
So I never tried them 
I like the new Maggi which they have introduced ‘Rice Mania’. They are rice noodles and come in 3 flavours Lemon masala, pulao, and chilli chow. I luv the chilli chow . It is spicy , and I add lots of stir fried fresh cabbage etc along with tomato ketchup and have it lick lick it clean
They have come up with dal atta noodles which are sambhar flavoured !!
Can’t imagine sambhar combined with atta
