Our Testing Results
Taste
In terms of taste, this variant closely resembles the atta variant of Maggi. The besan (gram flour) flavor is subtle and doesn’t overshadow the masala, which is quite similar to the one found in atta Maggi. This balance makes it a familiar yet interesting option for those who enjoy the original version.
For those who like snacking on raw Maggi chunks, the besan flavor becomes more pronounced in this form. The masala itself leans heavily on Indian spices which makes these noodles full of flavors.
Texture
This has a slightly firmer bite that sets it apart from regular Maggi. You can also notice small pieces of onions and carrots in the tastemaker that add a nice bite in between. The noodles maintain a satisfying texture, being long, non-sticky, and well-prepared.
The cooking time is slightly longer here. With a decent 34-35% besan content, it adds a unique touch to the noodles.
