Material

1 packet Maggi
2 cups fresh and cold curd

Easy step-by-step recipe to make Maggi Raita

1. First boil Maggi

Boil water in a pan and add Maggi in it. Cook it only as much as is necessary. If Maggi becomes too soft then both the taste and texture of the raita can be affected. After cooking, drain off the excess water and let the Maggi cool completely.

2. Prepare curd

Take fresh and cold curd in a big bowl. Beat it well so that the curd becomes completely smooth and there are no lumps in it. Now add salt and roasted cumin powder to it and mix well.

3. Mix vegetables

Now add finely chopped onion, tomato and green chilli to the curd. If you are making for children then you can leave out green chillies. Mix all the ingredients well with light hands.

4. Mix Maggi and serve

Mix the cooled Maggi in the curd mixture gently so that the noodles do not break. Add green coriander and chaat masala on top and serve immediately or cool it in the fridge for 10 minutes and eat.
