My Experiments with Maggie

The recipe is simple. You chopp some onion & tomato & some few fresh green chillies. Fry them gently in a pan, & put appropriate amount of water in it for boiling; & then you put ur maggie in it. If u have grean peas, that would make an ideal combination of an exotic recipe. For those who crave for more spicy food, put that extra red chilly powder you will see an amazing matter in ur cooking pan, the aroma of which, will drive your wildest digestive juices in your tummy. Keep steering it for sometime & let the others stare at your cooking skills. Take out that fresh green- Coriander leaves & sprinkle them on top of your cooked dish. That would add the final flavour to your art & this is surely going to water your tongue. Yes you are ready now. Go for the delicacy & serve it steaming hot. Yes that's pretty simple & at the same time it is the most delicious food item giving sharp competition to the luxuruious, costly & tasteless 5-star menu. Be it anytime of the day, its always a cherishable snack. For breakfast, there is simple maggie with less spices. For lunch, the red-hot spicy maggie is a mandatory option. And for dinner, quantity is the name. No matter how many packets of maggie are cooked, never in my lifetime, did I face a situation that we had some extra stuff. First we cook what we eat & then we eat what we cook. Plain & simple. There are addicts to tea, coffee, cigarettes, & then there are like us, who are given in to this magical dish. I never heard any of my roomate saying a 'no' to maggie. Man I need a testimonial in orkut, certiying the facts about my genuis art of cooking maggie in a unique way. (Singla, Gurchet, Sumit, Sagar, Tripathi, Raghu, Rini, Appy, I hope you all read this some day).
Then there are different varieties of cooking maggie too. I still am a fan of unique 'Soup' Maggie, discovered by one my great friends, Sagar. Or else should I call it chilly soup with maggie flavour? It contains numerous green chillies, tomato optional, & more quantity of water to allow the maggie to float in it. I bet you, it will scare the ghost out of you & your tongue would be sent to the hottest & deepest core of the sun. You will be sweating & it would be tough to differentiate, if u just took a bath! And tell what, its still the more lovable dish. I become a crazy fan, yeah.
My roomate Raghu, erstwhile was averse to maggie menu (given he had awful maggie preparation by home cook). I calmed him one day, & assured him the maggie cooked by me wont be a too bad thing to eat & that definitely he would like it more than I could convince him!
And guess what, when he was served, he was busy grabbing the food & didn't utter a word of praise untill he cleaned his plate. Satisfying his hunger, he gave glittering look & smiled in content & then he began to criticize the home-cook & he was all praise for me. He declared everyweekend, Sunday night, Maggie must be a dinner option. I gleefully welcomed his comments & assured him my best of services as a maggie charmer! I dont wish to do some self praise about my cooking art, but I felt maggie has played an important part in my bachelor life (& for all the bachelors for that matter). Its one surprise gift I would like to keep the cooking talent & when I get married, I would love to recall my bachelor stint with Maggie. Maggie makes no choices & age is no bar for its lovers. Kids are crazy for it, the elder love them too; for youngsters, its a necessity!!! Its synonimous to the bread-&-butter concept.
Its summer or winter, day or night, Monday or Thursday, maggie rocks all the way!!!

Cheers

I, Sumit Anand, testify the Maggie Making Skills of Bhola and assure you all that he is the best :)
I don't know why he didn't mentioned "Chicken" in this article but I am a big fan of his chicken too.
He has already hinted in this blog that he is going to carry on his cooking saga after marriage as well and I am sure his would be wife (Officialy Introducing herself in Winter'09) is just keeping her fingers crossed....... :)
