Maggi in Vegetable Stock

Maggi noodles is very popular in India and I had my share of maggi during college days . Once in a while I still eat it when there’s nothing else to eat. But now I add vegetables to my maggi.

Today I made maggi in vegetable stock and it tasted good. Good way to use the vegetable stock and good for kids and adults too.

What’s your quick meal idea and have you modified it to suit today’s need ?

Enjoy!

Insta Pot Vegetable Stock

It’s so easy to make stock but super easy in insta pot. 30 minutes on high pressure and let it naturally release. I use onion, carrot, celery, cilantro stems, mushrooms , broccoli stems. Adding a piece of ginger will be good but i forgot.

What to use stock for? You can use to cook rice ,quinoa, millet or in soup. I like to use for soup in winter time and soups are good for work lunch. Easy to eat and carry. You can also use to make roti, paratha dough when you are adding veggies or spices. Am not sure how plain roti dough using stock will turn out. But won’t hurt to try. It will add nutrition.

Enjoy!

Insta Pot Mung Dal With Cauliflower

Cooking beans , lentils , dals is so easy and mess free with insta pot. Cooked mung dal for 15 minutes and then seasoned with spices on sauté mode.

Add big chunks of cauliflower, turn off insta pot and put lid on. Cauliflower will cook in steam, residual heat.

After 10 minutes garnish with cilantro leaves, add some lemon juice.

Have with quinoa, brown rice , jasmine rice. You can use your rice cooker for it and dinner will be ready in no time.

Enjoy!
