This Maggi recipe is perfect for those who love to experiment with flavours. Made with freshly roasted spices and tomatoes, this tangy broth gives Maggi a peppy flavour that goes just right with the soft, tangy noodles. The best part about this recipe is that it is extremely versatile and easy to make, so even if you are new to the kitchen, you can enjoy the taste of this unique recipe.

How to ensure your Rasam Maggi doesn’t turn soggy?
To ensure that your Rasam Maggi does not turn out soggy and lumpy, make sure to boil the noodles only till 80 per cent. This is because when you add the noodles to the spice mixture, it will absorb the flavour and get completely cooked in it. Also, make sure to add the boiled noodles to the rasam mixture gently so that you do not break the noodles. Let the flavours infuse into the spice mixture and the noodles to form a wonderful blend of tangy flavours.
