Maggi Masala Noodles

My brother is getting married on June 10th. Hence, I will be travelling to Mumbai in the coming week. I'm so much excited and nervous at the same time. 'Excitement' because I'm visiting Mumbai, meeting my family, my darling sisters, my cute nieces, get to spend time with each one of them which I really miss and have lotts of fun. 'Nervous' because my son's school starts on June 10th too. As we have shifted only 3 months back to Coimbatore, it would be a new school, new friends and maybe a new beginning for him. (He is in Class 3 now). After lots of 'ifs' and 'buts, I decided not to think anymore. But my mind keeps wandering, and I keep saying to myself, "It's O.K. He will pick up.. It's just a matter of some days." These days with packing, shopping and arranging, I have less time, energy and some times less patience for cooking. I try to keep it as quick and simple as possible.

I love maggi noodles very much. Infact who doesn't? Be it kids or adults, everybody loves noodles. It is the most easiest and quickest to make and addition of just a few vegetables makes it all the more nutritious.Today, I made this delicious Maggi Masala for breakfast.

Add 4 cups water and cook till noodles are done.
