Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded Manchurian Noodles
1. Boil the Maggi noodles as per package instructions, but use only half of the Tastemaker sachet to reduce sodium. 2. In a separate pan, stir-fry 1 cup of chopped vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and cabbage with a little garlic. 3. Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the vegetables. 4. Mix well and garnish with fresh spring onions before serving.
Health Benefits
Adding fresh vegetables significantly increases the fiber, vitamin, and mineral content of the meal.
Spicy Noodle & Tofu Soup
1. Prepare the noodles with the Tastemaker and extra water to create a soup base. 2. While the noodles cook, add 50g of cubed tofu or a boiled egg for a protein boost. 3. Wilt in a handful of spinach or bok choy in the last minute of cooking. 4. Serve hot as a hearty noodle soup.
Health Benefits
This recipe transforms the snack into a more balanced meal by adding protein and leafy greens.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including thickeners, acidity regulators, humectants, colors, and flavour enhancers, are permitted by FSSAI within specified limits. While considered safe for consumption, the high number of additives indicates a highly processed product. Regular consumption is not advisable.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on the 'Spicy Manchurian' flavor and convenience, which accurately reflects the product. The packaging uses 'Suggested Garnish' and 'Creative Visualization' disclaimers, which is ethical. No misleading health claims such as 'healthy' or 'natural' are made. The marketing is truthful about the product being a flavor-focused instant noodle.
