Naan sodhappina Maggi :)

, , 27 comments
Another of those days when maggi is lunch. Today I went to the pantry as usual to make Maggi, but got lost in thought in between only to realize that most of the water in the tawa had disappeared. Well, that's ok, that is how I like it. So off I came back to the room, only to realize again, that the little bit of water (without which you just cannot eat maggi) was gone too.
Hm....too lazy to go down to the pantry again. Chalo, appdiye saapdu. I started digging the maggi out with great vigour. No, it was getting difficult. I just couldn't pull it out to eat. What do I do?
I sat thinking for 2 minutes. That was my last maggi packet so I didn't have another "can-be-made-soon" thing to eat. So I sat, scratching my chin in thought.
Viola!
The bright bulb lit above my head!
(the idea bulb, silly....romba yosikkadheenga!)
Namma gettiyaana thayir saadam technique irukke!!!
So down I went, opened the hot water dispenser and poured some hot water into my tawa with the maggi inside and gave it a stir.
Lo!!!
Maggi became as good as ever! :)
Bravo for thayir saadam (my favourite anytime!! ) and its lessons to human life!!!

Four simple steps to cook Maggi:

Step 1: Boil one cup of water

Step 2: As soon as Ganguly goes for batting, put the noodles in the boiled water and put the tastemaker.

Step 3: Stir till Ganguly is on field.

Step 4: As soon as Ganguly is back in the pavilion, your noodles are ready to eat.

Chakra said...

Ever tried mixing thayir with the noodles? If you like thachchi mumm, you might like this one as well, though it won't measure up to the standards of thayir sadam.

Good morning/afternoon/evening Ma'am. *clears his throat and starts talking in authoritative fashion* You better start studying now! Exams approaching, and you are blogging about maggi! *suddenly realizes that he's also a lazy dude and loses the authoritative voice* Good luck for your exams! *again realizes that he's already wished you luck in a prev. post and goes back to his blog to write nonsense*

UPDATE ON MAGGI PREP FROM BCCI:
Step 4: As soon as Ganguly is back in pavilion, your noodles are just about ready.
Step 5: Let VVSL go out to the field and return. NOW your noodles are absolutely ready to eat

Another one on Dada :

PHONE CALL FOR GANGULY!

India Pakistan Match has started. As to be expected, it’s a charged up atmosphere and the heat is really on!

India is put in to bat. As to be expected, three wickets down, for a measly score.

There is phone call for Ganguly, at the Dressing Room. The Team Manager picks up the call.

“Hello ! I am Ganguly’s friend speaking . Can I talk to him now ?”

The Team Manager replies : “Sorry ! He has just gone in to bat . ”

The caller replies “No problem . I’ll hold the line ! ”

Sorry Vani for littering ur comment board, but couldnt help it :D

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Can you lend me your light bulb?
So that i can use it while I try something like you did?

Have you heard of Quaker Express? Its a Sachet of pre-cooked oats . Just add hot water, stir and eat.

If you like the plain variety, you can add butter-milk or even rasam to it.

I love it.!

Vani Viswanathan said...

Yes, narayan venkitu, i have that thing....anything readymade and veggie and edible, i think i'll have it! its quite tasty, too!!

Anu said...

Yei..ennadi pannindrukka anga ukkandhundu??? ;))..Is this what you are planning to cook when you land up home?
I can see some unwanted visitors, "who want you to be careful while buying tramadol!!" :))

Baejaar said...

By not removing Lori's spam, you are unwittingly encouraging them. Why dont u remove it?

Only saving grace is that its a proof of the growing popularity of your blog.

Vani Viswanathan said...

omg...
what's this lori person saying! i'm still figuring out how to trash this comment.....and suddenly blogger is damn slow too! dammit!!

baejaar, that's a nice way of looking at spam comments! :)

Hi vani,
I had a similar experience with maggi too. My brother tasted it and said, "Wow, great soup, what next?" :-)
