While preparing your Masala Vegetable Maggie, you need to follow some special instructions and take care of yourself, so that you can enjoy the recipe completely. The first thing to do is to make sure that the oil doesn’t get over-boiled before putting all the ingredients and vegetables in it.
Another thing that you need to make sure to avoid is not to let the Maggie noodles become overcooked or soggy.
