Student Special - வேறென்ன நூடுல்ஸ் தான்!

Now everyone knows, as a student, more than 50% of the food you cook is Noodles!
But here are some twists to cooking your noodles, that will give it a different taste!

1. Vegetable noodles:

Choose green vegetables like beans, cabbage, peas. Other vegetables that go well with noodles are carrots, bell peppers and of course you will need any or some of:
green chillies, tomatoes, ginger, (garlic and onion) finely cut.

Cut the chosen vegetable(s) and keep aside.

In boiling water, cook noodles, drain and keep aside. While boiling, add either a tinge of salt or a couple of drops of oil. This will keep the noodles, instead of becoming one big blob.

Take a sauce pan, heat some oil and add the ingredients in this order one by one, while stirring lightly: chillies, ginger, onions (wait till they become light brown), garlic, tomatoes and let cook for 5 min.

You can add either the noodle packet masala, OR either Rasam powder or Sambhar powder and some chilli powder.

Add the noodles and mix well.

Recipe 2: Sambhar noodles:

Just plain cook the noodles and instead of masala powder, add sambhar powder and a couple of spoons of ghee! Simplest, yet has home-made flavour!.

Recipe 3: Cabbage noodles.

Cut cabbage, onions, green chillies and ginger finely.
Take a sauce pan add some oil and drop the cut items one by one and cook well. To this add the cooked noodles and salt and chilli powder to taste.
Tastes very good!

Recipe 4: Tofu noodles:

Open a pack of Tofu and cut into small pieces after draining the water.

In a sauce pan, take some oil, and add chillies, ginger, onions, tomatoes and cook. Add the tofu and keep for another 5-10 minutes, adding salt and chilli powder.

To this add the cooked noodles, and here is a very healthy, very tasty Noodle dish!

Recipe 5: Fancy noodles:

Stir fry beans, onions, tomatoes, chillies, bell peppers, carrots.

Fry tofu separately.

Add all these together and add the cooked noodles.

To this add blended tomatoes(3-4) simmered separately with some oil.

Add lots of basil.

Now you have a restaurant style Noodles.

Make some salad, and keep some bread and butter. Finish off with your favourite ice cream.

Now you have a dinner menu fit to celebrate after a hard exam done well!
