Hello friends! I know it’s been a long time since I’ve shared a recipe with you, but this one was definitely worth the wait. This Maggi Masala Fried Rice idea came to me when I was starving one day and craving some fried rice. I decided to throw in veggies, rice, the masala packets, and seasoning. Let me tell you… it tasted delicious! And since so many of you were excited for the recipe, I decided to deliver ASAP!

Using the Maggi Magic Masala Packets

I have been getting the Magic Masala packets at my local Indian grocery store, but you can also find them on Amazon! I love using them when I make regular Maggi noodles because I feel like the tiny packets don’t have enough masala LOL. You can even use the Magic Masala packets as seasoning for fries, soups, or sauces! Overall, they’re just such a good panty essential to have!

Best Rice for Fried Rice

For fried rice like this, I always use Basmati Rice. You want to make sure the rice is cooked to perfection, nice and fluffy, and at least 1-2 days old. If you use rice that was just cooked, it may end up making your dish a little mushy. You can always opt out and use brown rice if you’d like, or quinoa if you want to be a little healthier!

Other Fried Rice Recipes

Fried Rice is so delicious, and it’s one of those comfort foods that I like to eat after a long weekend of junk food. My mom always made it as a lazy meal when we didn’t want to cook, which is why I grew up loving it so much. It’s simple, satisfying, and so flavorful. If you’re a fried rice fan like I am, you must check out my 20 Minute Fried Brown Rice, Herbed Italian Rice, and Spicy Spanish Rice!
