The staple food of many bachelors and bachelorettes who either dont know how to cook or want to eat something that can be prepared quickly, as quick as just 2 minutes.

What else? but Maggi noodles.

Maggi is a leading culinary brand and part of the Nestlé family of fine foods and beverages. Maggi offers a whole range of products, such as packaged soups, frozen meals, prepared sauces and flavorings.
Julius Michael Johannes Maggi, was the founder of Maggi who developed a formula for bringing added taste to meals. This heralded the beginning of Maggi food products. In 1882, the Swiss Public Welfare Society commissioned Maggi to create a vegetable food product that would be quick to prepare and easy to digest to help with the problem of women having less time to prepare meals as more women worked outside the home. The results — two instant pea soups and an instant bean soup – were a huge success. By the turn of the century, Maggi & Company was producing not only powdered soups, but also bouillon cubes, sauces and flavorings. Maggi merged with NestlĂ© in 1947.

Over the years, Maggi has introduced several new flavours, but the Masala flavour remains my personal favourite. The vegetable atta noodles is okay too. But the new flavours, Chilly chow and Shahi pulao are really bad. The competitors for Maggi are not worth a mention here. Maggi rules!
