    Maggi Bhel / quick chaats

    Children need a variety of snacks especially in the evenings. I am always on the look out for something interesting. Maggi Bhel is a quick snack that can be made at a short notice. It is tasty and super liked at home.

    This snack can be easily made in fifteen minutes. I usually make a small quantity ( single serving) and thus my measurements are the same. It involves dry roasting of the noodles, roast them well as they are not cooked any further.

    Here are a few facts about Chaats:

    1. This is loved by children as it has noodles.
    2. It makes a good and easy snack to make in the evenings.
    3. It is something different than the regular noodles.
    4. You can be creative as you wish, add more toppings or just limit to the mentioned ones.

    Here are some finger- licking chaat recipes that I had posted earlier :Bhel Puri, Ragda Patties, Sev Puri,

    To make patties :

    • Boil the potatoes and keep aside.
    • Peel the skin and mash them. It is good to add cold water, peel and mash. Allowing them to cool, makes them hard.
    • Make a paste of coriander and green chilly.
    • Mix corn flour, paste and salt together.
    • Heat a flat skillet.
    • Make round,flat thick balls as tikkis.
    • Smear a little oil on the skillet and keep these tikkis.
    • On a slow flame, cook them on both sides until golden brown in colour.

    Take a note :

    • Keeping the  flame low  ensures  even  cooking of the patties.
    • You can make around seven to eight  at a time.

    To serve :

    Take a plate and arrange two patties on it. Pour two tablespoon of prepared ragda over them. Add some sweet chutney and green chutney over it. Finally, decorate with sev and serve ragda patties.
