Maggi Bhajiya

Maggi Bhajiya is a crispy and delicious Indian street-style snack made by coating cooked Maggi noodles in a spiced gram flour batter and deep-frying them until golden. Perfect for tea-time or as a quick party appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet Maggi noodles
  • 1 cup gram flour (besan)
  • 2 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 medium onion, finely sliced
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Cook Maggi noodles with the tastemaker masala and very little water so they remain dry. Let them cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add gram flour, rice flour, onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, ajwain, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the cooled Maggi noodles to the mixture and combine.
  4. Gradually add water to form a thick batter that coats the noodles.
  5. Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated noodles into the hot oil and fry on medium flame until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove onto a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

Notes

  • Ensure noodles are not too watery, or the bhajiya will turn soggy.
  • You can add grated vegetables like carrots or cabbage for extra flavor.
  • Best enjoyed hot and crispy, immediately after frying.
