Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Tastemaker:

  • 1 tsp Garam Masala Powder
  • ½ tsp Red Chili Powder

For the Noodles:

  • 1 pack Millet Noodles
  • Water as required
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 large Onion (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • 2 Green Chilies (chopped)
  • ½ medium Capsicum (julienned)
  • ⅛ medium Cabbage (julienned)
  • 1 tsp Tamari
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Sauce
  • Prepared Tastemaker
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Boil water in a pot, add salt and the noodles. Cook them for 5-6 minutes till al dente.
  • Strain them in a sieve, and run cold water over them to avoid overcooking. You can also pour over some oil to keep the noodles from sticking together. Let them aside.
  • Take a wok, switch on the flame to high, and add oil. Once the oil has heated enough, add onions and saute them till translucent. Then add ginger-garlic paste, and again saute for 30 seconds on high flame.
  • Keep the flame on high, add capsicum, cabbage, and green chilies into the mix, and saute them for a minute.
  • Add tamari and red chili sauce, and mix them properly. Now add tastemaker, and salt, and again mix them. If you think the veggies have become dry, add a splash of hot water for some moisture, and to avoid burning.
  • Finally, combine the noodles with the mixture, and coat the noodles properly with the sauces.
  • Sprinkle on some chopped coriander, and your millet noodles are ready to be served hot.

Notes

  • Add more veggies: Try to add in red and yellow bell peppers, and carrots to make a more wholesome meal. You can also substitute onions with scallions for a more aromatic taste.
  • Use soy sauce: I used tamari to make this recipe gluten-free. However, if you don't have any gluten-related problems, you can add soy sauce instead of tamari.
  • Keep the flame high: Keep in mind that these noodles and veggies are cooked on a high flame to keep the crunchiness intact.
  • Add vinegar/lemon juice: If you don't have vinegar at your disposal, or you want to change the flavor a bit, squeeze some lemon juice into the mix for some citrus acidity.
 
How to store:
This noodle delicacy is best enjoyed fresh.
But, if you've got some extra noodles left, store them in an air-tight container and then place it in the fridge for 2-3 days, though the texture will not remain the same as before.
Obviously, this goes for the freezer as well, so I do not recommend it.
