## 👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

<div align="center">

</div>

### 🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Base
Heat oil or butter in a pan on medium flame. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds. This releases their aromatic oils and sets the foundation for amazing flavor.

> 💡 **Chef's Tip:** Listen for the sizzle! The cumin should crackle within 10 seconds.

---

### 🧄 Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chili. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent and slightly golden.

---

### 🥕 Step 3: Add Vegetables
Toss in the diced tomatoes, capsicum, and green peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the vegetables are slightly tender but still retain their crunch.

---

### ✨ Step 4: Spice It Up
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another minute to let the spices blend with the vegetables.

### 💧 Step 5: Add Water & Noodles
Pour in 2½ cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil. Break the Maggi noodle cakes and add them to the boiling water along with the masala packets that come with the noodles.

---

### 🍝 Step 6: Cook the Noodles
Let the noodles cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don't overcook – the noodles should be slightly firm and not mushy.

> ⚠️ **Important:** The perfect texture is achieved when noodles are cooked 80% - they continue cooking off-heat!

---

### 🎯 Step 7: Final Touch
Sprinkle garam masala over the noodles and give it a quick toss. The water should be mostly absorbed, leaving a slightly saucy consistency.

---

### 🌿 Step 8: Garnish & Serve
Turn off the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with a lemon wedge on the side.
