Ingredients

2 packet Maggi noodles

2 cup plain flour

1 cup water

1/2 cup onion, diced

2 tbsp ground black pepper

1 tsp chilli flakes

Method

Break the Maggi noodles into small pieces and fry them till they are crisp and little brown. Now, prepare a slurry with plain flour and water till you get a thick consistency.

In a slightly large bowl, take the roasted noodles and add the ingredients one by one, that is, diced onion, tomatoes, mushroom, grated carrot, chopped coriander, diced ginger and garlic, ground pepper, chilli flakes and salt as per taste.

Combine the ingredients thoroughly and add the plain flour slurry to the mixture and mix again.

In a pan, add some butter and oil. Once the pan is hot, add two ladles of the above mix of noodles and shape them into a pancake. Cover and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.

Once the crust is formed under the pancake, reverse and cook the other side. Once done, serve with grilled tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms.
