Table of Contents
Peri Peri Maggi is an interesting twist on your regular Maggi, where the usual recipe is flavored with peri peri spice mix (also known as 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 blend 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 with our usual Maggi. It is easy, quick, and delicious.
Peri Peri Maggi tastes heavenly during the monsoons or winters, paired with a hot cup of masala chai or South Indian filter coffee.
Ingredients
- Maggi – I used classic Maggi Masala to make this recipe. They are easily available at all Indian grocery stores in different sizes and packs. Amazon also sells Maggi online in the US. You will also need the tastemaker that comes inside the Maggie packets.
- Butter – Adding butter to this dish enhances its rich flavor. You can make it however you like.
- Peri-Peri Spice Mix is widely available at most grocery stores. 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, and baby corn.
- 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, such as Amul or Britannia.
How To Make Peri Peri Maggi
Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Once the butter is melted, add ½ cup of cubed onions and ½ cup of mixed bell peppers and saute for 30-40 seconds.
Step 3: Stir in the following ingredients and let the water come to a boil.
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon peri peri spice mix
- 2 cups of water
Step 4: Add 2 packs of Maggi noodles and the accompanying tastemaker, and cook until the noodles are tender (3-4 minutes), stirring occasionally.
If you prefer a dry Maggi, add only 1 ½ cups of water instead of 2 cups.
Step 5: Stir in 1 tablespoon unsweetened heavy cream.
Step 6: 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 in the microwave until it’s nice and warm. If you feel it has become too dry, add a little water and adjust the consistency as needed.
