Why Dietician's Twist on Roti Maggi is Going Viral?
Maggi's Comfort Food Status
Maggi, a beloved comfort food for many, is often viewed as unhealthy, especially for those watching their weight. In recent times, several unique and unconventional Maggi variations have gained attention, such as paan masala Maggi, Fanta Maggi, and pani puri Maggi. Adding to this list is a new trend that has taken social media by storm – “roti Maggi.”
The Instagram Viral Recipe
Dietician Mac Singh, who shares weight-loss recipes on his Instagram account @dietitianmacsingh, posted a video demonstrating a healthier version of Maggi. The recipe uses leftover chapati (roti) to create a Maggi-like dish. Singh’s innovative recipe has quickly gone viral, gathering thousands of views and likes.
How Roti Maggi is Made
In the video, Singh shows how to turn stale chapatis into noodle-like strips. He begins by cutting the rotis into thin strips and then sautés onions, green chillies, and tomato puree in oil. After adding red chilli powder, turmeric, and salt, he tosses the roti strips in the mixture, combining them to create a healthy dish with flavours similar to Maggi.
No Actual Maggi?
While this version is a healthier alternative to the original instant noodles, the recipe sparked debate among viewers. Some questioned whether it should be called “roti Maggi” since it doesn’t contain Maggi noodles. One user humorously commented, “Maggi without Maggi.” Another raised concerns about gluten, to which Singh responded that the use of whole wheat (roti) instead of refined flour (maida) and natural home spices makes the dish healthier.
Despite the ongoing discussion, many users praised the idea, with some even mentioning their variations of similar recipes.
Conclusion
This creative twist on Maggi not only offers a healthier alternative but also showcases how simple household ingredients can be transformed into something new and exciting. Whether or not it’s truly “Maggi,” it’s clear that this dish has captured the internet’s attention.
