About Peri Peri Maggi
Peri Peri Maggi is an interesting twist to your regular Maggi, where your usual recipe is flavored with peri peri spice mix (peri peri masala). Along with the spice mix, cheese, and heavy cream are added, which makes it rich and creamy. Peri Peri is a popular spice mix that is prepared with a combination of whole spices, garlic, sugar, and salt. It has garlicky, spicy, lemony, and tangy flavors, making the Maggi irresistible. I often make this version when we get bored of our usual Maggi. It is easy, quick, and tastes so delightful. Peri Peri Maggi tastes heavenly during monsoons or winters with a hot cup of masala chai or filter coffee. You can easily double or triple the recipe for a crowd.
Ingredients
Butter – Making this dish in butter gives it a rich flavor. You can make it in any cooking of your choice. Peri-Peri Spice Mix – This is easily available in any grocery store. You can also order it online. Veggies – I like to add onions and bell peppers for a nice crunch. You can add more vegetables, such as broccoli, mushrooms, corn, green beans, baby corn, etc. Heavy Cream and Cheese – Use shredded cheddar cheese and unsweetened heavy cream. These ingredients make this Maggi dish super creamy and yummy. You can replace cheddar cheese with processed cheese like Amul or Brittania.
How To Make Peri Peri Maggi
Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, add ½ cup cubed onions and ½ cup mixed bell peppers and saute for 30-40 seconds. Stir in
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon peri peri spice mix 2 cups of water
and let the water come to a boil. Add 2 packs of Maggi noodles and the tastemaker that comes along with it, and cook until noodles are tender (3-4 minutes), stirring a few times in between. Note – If you like dry Maggi, add only 1 and ½ cups of water instead of 2 cups. Stir in 1 tablespoon unsweetened heavy cream. Transfer the maggi to the serving bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley and shredded cheese. Serve immediately.
Storage Suggestions
Always make the Maggi fresh, as it tastes best when served hot. But if you have leftovers, store them in an air-tight container for about a day. Reheat it in a pan or microwave until nice and warm. If you feel it has become dry, add a little water and adjust the consistency.
