MAHAS NOTES

You can add vegetbales..Like, sweet corn,green peas,zuchhini,cabbage,cilantro leaves etc.

Adding red chili in between along with noodles gives mild taste..It`s good for kids.If you roast them in oil it may tastes too spice and hot.

Skip red chili and add black pepper powder 1 tsp.oregano is optional which is my favorite,but it gives a nice flavor.

Depending on your choice adjust water.if you want soup consistency t add more water..

It is one of the easy and best recipe to have any time and for kids too..
