Maggi is the ultimate dish for hungry souls, and it wouldn’t be exaggeration for it to be named the national food for all college students (the hostel-wali Maggi, the class-bunk wali Maggi, etc. etc.). Be it soupy or dry; for lunch, breakfast or midnight snack, you absolutely cannot say ‘no’ to it at any time, in any form, as slurping a forkful of Maggi is just so satisfying. There’s just something magical about that one bowl of hot instant noodles, it uplifts your mood and you cannot stop yourself from licking the plate.
The best thing about this comfort food is that endless customization is possible. So go on, and check out some irresistible noodle twists at these Maggi points:

Billu’s Hut
Billu’s Hut has goes a few steps farther than your imagination. Do try their Cheese Maggi which is overloaded with cheese, and also has a cheese slice on top. The end result of the pasta concoction was lovely – after they’d dumped a load of parmesan on it. Very simple and fresh tasting (the mint and basil really pull their weight in this dish).

Maggi’s great for two reasons.
You get all the joy of biting through noodles.
Then you meet the masala and have a millisecond pause to process your happiness.
Followed by even more joy when you bite through part two and get to do it all over again. Magnificent.
