We know that most kids are fans of instant noodles. Some of them love it to such an extent that they can have it almost daily! But what makes many Moms like me worry about is the processed refined flour noodles and the MSG (Monosodium Glutamate- a flavor enhancer) and preservatives present in the taste maker (masala powder). Even if we use organic whole wheat or multigrain noodles, the concern associated with the taste maker still remains. That’s what got me thinking – what if we could make noodles masala at home? The result is here today – an easy homemade DIY noodles masala recipe for kids!

This masala is absolutely amazing! Best and healthier replacement to our fav comfort food maggi!
I just added some extra spice for myself. But this is amazing! Thank you so much!
Great to know! Thank you.
I’m sorry, this recipe is nowhere close to the Maggi taste. I saw all the good reviews and was expecting better.
Sorry Maya. It’s homemade natural mix with no artificial taste enhancers. It would taste natural and will not be harmful for babies 🙂

Hi Kalyani,
Yes, you can add chat masala, but it’s the best to use dry mango and ginger powder.
