Maggi has been one of the favourite breakfast options for kids and adults alike, since the time it was launched (in 80’s) in India. With its simple preparation and lingering taste, the instant noodles also often came to the rescue for hostel students, and for those who were least interested in cooking.

Earlier this year, the Lucknow Food Safety and Drug Administration found that Maggi contains monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in excess amounts and have also written to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) asking to cancel the licence for Maggi. Eventually, the popular food product was banned nation-wide, but in recent developments, the state of Gujarat has lifted the ban on Maggi — much to the delight of many.

According to reports, the company said it will now commence manufacturing and will sell “only after the newly manufactured products are also cleared by the designated three laboratories”.

So, in preparation, why not brush up on some delicious recipes featuring the snack?

1. Maggi with eggs and caremelized onions

You can also add garlic pieces. To caramelize onions, add a bit of sugar. Take out the yolk of two eggs and add it on the pan above onions and garlic.
