Maggi has been banned in a few states, and frankly, we aren’t complaining! Sure we enjoyed the two-minute noodles in hostel and even when we got our first shared apartment with the girls, but we can’t deny how unhealthy they were. But for those of you who still can’t seem to get over the ban, we have 10 other super quick comfort foods that could beat Maggi hollow. This is no time to count calories. Just take your pick, sit back, and enjoy!
Egg burji with pav: Here’s one for egg lovers! Burji is one of the easiest and quickest dishes to make. Savour it with fresh, hot, butter-laden pav.
Chicken soup: Here’s something for non-vegetarians. It’s not without reason that chicken soup is food for the soul. Whether you are unwell or not, enjoy a bowl of hot and flavourful chicken soup.
Hummus with pita: Hummus is one of the simplest things to make but it is finger-lickin’ good, filling yet light, and healthy. We love that it is a cold dip that can be stored for days. Enjoy it with soft or crisp pita and if you don’t have that, plain khakra is an option too.
Nachos: Imagine a pile of crunchy nachos topped with hot cheese sauce and a fiery salsa…we’re salivating already!
Nutella on toast: The hazelnut flavoured spread is good enough to eat by itself. Make it better by slathering it on a slice of hot, crispy, buttered toast. You can add grated chocolate or hazelnuts, if you please.
Mashed potatoes: Ain’t nothing like a plate of rich, creamy mashed potatoes. Go all out and make one loaded with cheese and cream; it’s the best way to enjoy it! You can make it more wholesome by adding some vegetables to it.
Dal khichdi: For some reason, we prefer the restaurant version over the homemade version. Dal khichdi with tadka is a glamourous version of dal-chawal and it satisfies the tummy and taste buds!
8. Pumpkin soup: This may sound boring but trust us, it is yummy and has the vibe of an English fairy tale. This hearty soup is best made at home with pumpkin, carrots, fresh coriander, cinnamon, and cream. Enjoy it with garlic bread. Pumpkin is very nutritious and has a subtle sweet flavour and people will not even know until you tell them.
9. Chilli cheese toast: Want a mix of hot, crunchy, spicy, and cheesy? Chilli cheese toast is for you!
10. Garlic bread: There is something magical about butter, garlic and cheese. You can have a classic cheese and garlic version or get creative and add chicken or vegetables to it. It’s best enjoyed super
