Food experiments are going viral these days, and many beloved desi dishes are getting creative fusions. You have likely come across videos featuring exciting twists on favourites like pani puri, samosas, and dosas. A popular trend in these experiments includes instant noodles, particularly Maggi and Wai Wai. Recently, a new video circulating on Instagram showcases a unique recipe for potato Wai Wai. Yes, you read that right. The process begins by boiling a specific amount of water in a pan. Once it reaches the boiling point, two packets of Wai Wai noodles are added to cook.
In another frying pan, chopped potatoes, chillies, garlic and onions are sauteed in oil. Salt is added to taste, and then an egg is incorporated to create a bhurji-like mixture. Finally, flavorful seasonings are stirred in, followed by boiled Wai Wai noodles. The mixture is combined thoroughly while keeping the frying pan on low heat, resulting in a delicious meal that's ready to serve and savour. The caption atop the video reads, "Unhealthy obsession with Wai Wai."
