Method — Step by step

1. Prep (1–2 min)
   Mince garlic, chop onions/capsicum, and measure milk & water.
2. Heat fat (30 sec)
   Put pan on medium heat. Add oil + butter. When butter melts and starts to foam, proceed.
3. Sauté aromatics (1 min)
   Add minced garlic and sauté for 20–30 sec until fragrant (don’t let it brown bitter). Add chopped onion and capsicum; sauté 30–40 sec until onion becomes translucent.
4. Add water + milk (30 sec)
   Pour in ¾ cup water and ¼ cup milk. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer on medium heat.
5. Add noodles & masala (20 sec)
   Break the Maggi noodles into 2–3 pieces (optional for easier mixing), add to the simmering liquid and sprinkle the tastemaker packet. Stir once to separate.
6. Cook noodles (2 min)
   Let noodles cook uncovered on medium-low. Stir occasionally so they don’t stick. When most of the liquid is absorbed and noodles are almost done (about 1.5–2 min), move to the next step.
7. Make it creamy (30–45 sec)
   Lower the heat. Add the cream (or cream cheese/mayo), grated cheese, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir vigorously — the cheese + cream will thicken the sauce and coat the noodles. If it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of milk or water to loosen.
8. Taste & adjust (10–15 sec)
   Taste one noodle. Add salt only if needed (remember Maggi masala is salty). Add a squeeze of lemon for brightness if you like.
9. Garnish & serve (10 sec)
   Transfer to a bowl or plate. Sprinkle chopped coriander or spring onion and an extra grind of black pepper. Serve hot.
