Instant noodles is what I crave when I am sick or if I want to eat something easy and light .However my health has been prone to many allergies like egg,MSG better known as Ajinomoto. This led to me avoiding noodles and Chinese or giving special instructions when I go out to restaurants for eating Chinese.Finally this allergy resulted in cooking home made noodles and masala without flavor enhancers(621,635,637) and can be made at home.Homemade Noodles & tasty masala is all you need if you want to try it too.Also,it tastes exactly like the market one).
Kids love Instant noodles but at the back of the mind of every mom is how to avoid junk.Advertising has always been at war with moms trying to make kids eat healthy(at least till the age they would listen to mothers).This noodle recipe is a choice both the parties will love to try over a Sunday breakfast.
