Healthy Recipe Ideas

Add the cooked noodles to the sautéed vegetables and mix well. 4. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. 5. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
Health Benefits
Enriches the meal with fiber and vitamins from fresh vegetables while reducing the sodium and additive load by half.
High-Protein Egg Bhurji Maggi

Health Benefits
Significantly boosts the protein content with eggs, making it a more satiating and nutritionally balanced meal.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including thickeners, acidity regulators, colours, and flavour enhancers, are approved by FSSAI for use in food products within permissible limits. While individually considered safe, their presence in large numbers indicates a highly processed product. The primary health risk comes from the product's overall poor nutritional profile, not the additives themselves.

Marketing Claims
The marketing claims focus on the taste profile ('Spicy', 'Peppery') which is subjective and accurate for the product. The brand avoids making any health or nutritional claims, which is an ethical approach given the product's poor nutritional profile. The term 'Tastemaker' is a long-standing brand name for the flavour sachet and is not misleading. The marketing is compliant with regulations as it does not deceive the consumer about the product's nature.
