This crispy Maggi chaat turns a humble packet of instant noodles into a loaded street-food snack. The secret is two-fold: crush the noodles for maximum crunch, then finish with Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp for toasted garlic, peanuts, and aromatic Indian heat. It comes together in 10 minutes and is endlessly snackable.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crush the dry Maggi noodles inside the packet into bite-sized pieces, then boil according to package directions until just al dente. Drain well and let cool slightly so they stay crunchy.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped onion, tomato, and cilantro.

  3. 3

    Add the cooled noodles, Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp, lemon juice, chaat masala, and salt. Toss gently to coat every strand.

    Taste and adjust — add more chili crisp for heat or lemon for brightness.

  5. 5

    Top with crushed sev or peanuts and serve immediately with a lemon wedge.

Pro Tips

  • Drain the noodles thoroughly and let them cool — wet, hot noodles turn soggy fast.
  • Add the chili crisp right before serving to keep the crunch.
  • Swap sev for crushed roasted peanuts or potato chips for extra texture.

It is best served fresh. You can chop the vegetables and boil the noodles ahead, but toss everything together with the chili crisp just before serving so it stays crunchy.

Is this recipe vegan?+

Yes. Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp is vegan, and the rest of the ingredients are plant-based. Use a vegan instant noodle brand if needed.

How spicy is it?+

Two tablespoons of chili crisp give a moderate, aromatic heat. Start with one tablespoon and add more to taste.
