Maggi Potatoes

Yet another Maggi recipe, but this one is from my mom’s kitchen and doesn’t involve the noodles per se, it is only the masala. When I was in school, I used to hate eating vegetables so my mother added Maggi masala to all the sabzis so I would eat them! That’s how Maggi potatoes were created and till date, it is one of my favourite things to eat at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Potatoes, Boiled
  • 2 Packs Of Maggi Masala
  • 1/2 Clove Of Garlic, Chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 Tsp Red Chili Powder
  • Salt To Taste
  • 1/4 Cup Of Water

Preparation

Prep: 5 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes

  1. In a pan, heat oil on a medium flame. Once the oil is hot enough, add cumin seeds and let it crackle for 2 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and saute it for a minute. Add red chili powder and Maggi masala and mix for another one minute.
  3. Lastly, add the boiled potatoes and salt. Cook this for 2 minutes. Add water and let it cook for 2-3 minutes more.
  4. During this time, mash the potatoes lightly. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.
  5. This can be eaten as a curry/sabzi with any type of Indian bread or as a sandwich too. Ready!

Originally from Mumbai, I moved to Madrid in January 2019 for my graduate studies. It has been one year and five months since I am in Madrid and stuck in lockdown for two months due to COVID-19. Rather than feeling awful about this situation, I took it positively by utilizing this time to do what I have been yearning to do since the past few years - cooking! Having grown up watching Nigella Lawson and Master Chef, I have had some serious interest in cooking. To the extent that I was almost on the verge of enrolling myself in a culinary school in Paris when I was 18. For several reasons I haven’t experimented as much in the kitchen as I would have liked, until now. I decided to put on my chef’s hat on day 1 of #MadridLockdown and go all out with my amateur cooking experiments. So here I am, still in lockdown, penning down my recipes for all those who want to be the master chef of their own house.
