The Kitchen Chronicles Begin

 

The Great Maggi Debate

It all started with a simple yet thrilling idea: “What if we cooked instead of ordering food?” My brother and I, armed with nothing but enthusiasm and a solid Wi-Fi connection, set out on our culinary journey.

Of course, we didn’t start by grinding our own spices or growing our own vegetables—let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

The process was meticulous—we would watch a YouTube recipe 7 to 8 times (as if preparing for a final exam), order the ingredients online, and mentally prepare for battle (also known as chopping vegetables).

Now, here’s the fun part—whoever was in the kitchen had absolute power over the music. It was an unspoken rule in our house: the Google Assistant belonged to the chef of the moment. No debates. No democracy. 

But here’s the thing—we don’t do things the easy way. Oh no, sir. The process had to be meticulous, just like preparing for an exam you forgot about until the night before.

So, like true scholars of the YouTube Cooking Academy, We watched a few Maggi-making videos (Yes, for Maggi, the instant noodles that even toddlers can make.) We even watched Maggi advertisements—just to analyze the texture and vegetables they used. Just imagine our precision and hard work. And we had a plan: the perfect ratio of water, masala, and nostalgia.

With the beats of our favorite songs in the background, 'Urvashi urvashi take it easy urvashi...' best suited song, we started small: Maggie—a simple, comforting and mind blowing dish. 

And guess what? It turned out delicious. But wait—does Maggi even count as cooking?
We decided it does. 100%. No further discussion.

Now, Maggi was our first masterpiece. And if anyone dared to say ‘it’s just instant noodles,’ we had one response: ‘Excuse me, this is gourmet Maggi.
