In the name of spices, generally it is red chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt goes into the sabzi. At the most, it is garam masala which finds it’s place in Indian recipes.
Although these spices are enough to make the food worth enjoyable, but in case you want to take your food to another level, we have come up with the recipe of this instant maggi masala magic powder recipe at home, popular called Masala-e-Magic from Maggie.
Maggie is a popular international brand of instant noodles and this Masala-e-Magic is the product of the same brand.

Take a pan and add coriander seeds (dhania beej), cumin seeds (jeera), fennel seeds (sounf), fenugreek seeds (methi dana), bay leaves (tejpata), cinnamon (dalchini), green cardamoms (hari ilaichi), cloves (loung), black pepper corns (kali mirch), nutmeg (jaifal), small piece of dry ginger (sonth) and dry red chilies (sookhi lal mirch). Dry roast them for couple of minutes on low heat until aromatic. Remove the pan from the heat and let the spices cool down completely. Add these spices in the grinder jar.
Then add dry onion strands and dry garlic (see details in notes below). In case you have readymade onion powder and garlic powder, add them. Thereafter add kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, sugar, salt, dry mango powder and cornflour. Grind them to a very fine powder.
Magic Masala ready. It can be stored for months.
Use 1 tbsp of Magic Masala for each cooking (3-4 servings)
NOTES
- To keep the cost of this recipe low, we haven’t bought the garlic and onion powder from market but thinly chopped them and dried them under the sun. It was about 6-7 garlic cloves and 1 medium onion cut so thinly. However you can also make garlic powder and onion powder in oven as well.
- If you have any of the whole spices already powdered, you can skip adding the whole one while roasting and later add the same power while mixing everything in the end.
