masala noodles recipe | mumbai street style vegetable masala noodles with detailed photo and video recipe. a unique and tasty noodles recipe made with spice toppings and typical indo chinese sauce and ingredients. it is basically a fusion of indian spices with soy sauce and vinegar to result in a unique and tasty vegetable-based noodles recipe. the recipe can be easily served for lunch or dinner or even to the tiffin boxes and tastes great when served with choice of curry or even manchurian sauces.
as i was explaining earlier, this recipe is an extended version of vegetable hakka noodles recipe. in other words, i have added the spices like garam masala, chilli powder and turmeric powder on top of soy sauce and vinegar. it has a strong resemblance to the indonesian mee goreng counterpart. i personally believe the indonesian cuisine is a fusion between indian and chinese cuisine. basically, the rice and noodles based recipes are tossed with both sauces and spices to produce goreng recipes. initially, i thought of preparing the mee goreng recipe with freshly grounded spices but settled down with basic indian masala recipe. using dry spices like cardamom and cinnamon can slow down the cooking process. whereas it’s better to use an easily available blend of spice powders and to prepare no-fuss yummy noodles recipe.
furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to the masala noodles recipe. firstly, the addition of chilli powder, garam masala and green chillies can make it spicy heat. hence you may skip green chillies or red chilli powder to reduce the heat. alternatively, you can add red chilli sauce to increase the spice heat. secondly, you may extend this recipe by making it as a soupy masala noodles recipe. you may prepare manchurian soup or hot and sour soup and the same veggies and noodles to it. lastly, adding veggies to this noodles recipe is open-ended and you may add as per your preference. however, ensure to slice it thinly in lengthwise and stir fry it at high flame.
finally, i request you to check my other detailed indo chinese recipes collection with this post of masala noodles recipe. it mainly includes my other recipe variations like roadside kalan, hakka noodles, maggi manchurian, manchurian gravy, soya fried rice, chilli paneer, hot and sour soup, chilli parotta, paneer fried rice, veg noodles. further to these i would also like to highlight my other related recipe categories like,
