7 Days with Instant Noodles- Day # 1.
Apologies for not writing on soon. Got stuck up with a flooded house to a no water in the house. Dont ask...crazy week. Anyway, I did manage to make a successful dish with Maggi.
Meat-less Meatballs with Tomato and corriander Sauce: I saw this on TV in a David Rocco Show. Loved the concept, hence giving it a go.
To make it meatless I used Eggplant.
To sum up there are 3 components of the Dish:
No Meat Meatballs.
Noodles.
Tomato Sauce.
