MAGGIE MAGGIE MAGGIE!!!!
Easy to make and yummy to taste !
Well this was the first thing I've cooked, the recipe being short and simple or as say my cousin says 'It's nothing.' Being a hostel lite, there isn't much scope for cooking but that never stopped us from venturing into it....... Our apparatus being a tiny Geepas kettle which we managed to sneak into hostel without the knowledge of our wardens, as there is a strict rule about not having any other electronic appliances other than our laptops or mobiles. We manage to keep it well hidden from their eyes because the repercussions wouldn't be nice at all..... it involves our kettle to be seized, fine of Rs 5000, lots of scoldings from the wardens and not to mention our late night hunger, the last being the worst.
What's interesting is the way we make Maggie, for that we make use of two things, one being the kettle and the other being a Tupperware tiffin box. So we boil the water in the kettle without the lid while adding the masala and stirring it continuously until it starts boiling. Then we break the noodles into small pieces into the Tupperware and pour the masala water into it and leaving it closed for another 5 mins....which involves frequent opening and testing whether the noodles is properly soaked or not, the frequency varying on the extent of our hunger....Once it all soaked ( or not) we dig in, without a care in the world about anything else...At that moment it's just us, our spoons and the Tupperware with our hot hot Maggie....Tummy full, beautiful! Washing the kettle becomes our next task for which we play the role of a spy.....peeping out to see if the coast is clear and then dashing to the washroom to clean it up and speeding back before we get caught.
So this is our adventure when our nights turn boring and starving.....Food for fun.....that's an interesting alliteration :-D
Phew writing about itself is making me hunger, better go dig something to hog for now, as my partners in crime also known as my roomies/besties are occupied with other work to have an adventure right now.
Bon appetite!!
