If you ask us to name two things that we can have at any time of the day, our prompt reply would be butter chicken and Maggi. Butter chicken is one of North India’s most beloved chicken curries. The luscious tomato-based chicken gravy thickened with cream and oodles of butter that is often paired with naan, roti or rice, but have you tried dunking in some maggi noodles in the gravy? Trust us, the combination works wonders. The fact that the noodle dish is so quick to prepare is another reason why we are hooked on to the recipe.
