In Brief



  • A Delhi vendor is selling a Maggi dish for Rs 1,100 a plate

  • The dish has gone viral, attracting attention primarily for its high price

  • The vendor insists that customers are satisfied after tasting the dish



Maggi, the popular instant noodle brand, has been a staple in Indian kitchens for a few decades now. Its simplicity and versatility have inspired countless recipes — from the classic masala Maggi to creative twists that elevate the humble noodle into a gourmet dish.


In the quest for culinary innovation, some Maggi recipes have ventured into the realm of the bizarre, often resulting in weird concoctions. If not a cringeworthy combination like chocolate-infused Maggi, some fusions take the noodles to another level by adding a ‘tandoori’, ‘smoky’, or a ‘super cheesy’ twist. 


The latest in the series of Maggi fusion experiments is one that is getting viral more for its price than for the ingredients. It’s a Maggi dish that costs Rs 1,100 a plate.


Yes, you heard that right! 


This Maggi dish that a Delhi vendor sells from his cart costs Rs 1,100 a plate. Wonder what he mixes with the one packet of noodles that he uses? 


Let us tell you about this special Maggi dish that Bunty Meat Wala, alias BMW, sells with a lot of confidence and swag from his cart in Delhi’s Pashchim Vihar.

Why Rs 1,100 For A Plate Of Maggi?


Bunty Meat Wala is quite popular with food vloggers who flock to his cart with their cameras. And Bunty happily shares with them his story, and that of his ‘Mutton Maggi’, which he calls ‘Bakre ke Nakhre Maggi’.


Bunty insists that the dish may cost a bit high but his customers don’t complain after eating it once, and that many of them even come back.


Bunty uses one single packet of Maggi, which costs Rs 14 in the market, for one plate, along with a pre-cooked gravy and four pieces of mutton.   


He shared the Maggi recipe with ABP Uncut team. As you can see in the above video, the noodles are first cooked in the mutton gravy. Once it’s “80% done”, in goes the Maggi masala, followed by julienned ginger, coriander leaves, chopped green chillies, chaat masala, Kasuri methi, and degi mirch (for colour). The pre-cooked gravy and mutton pieces are then added and stirred together for some more time. 


There is enough in the one plate to be shared by four people, Bunty insists.


Asked if a cheaper version is available, he says a half-plate costs Rs 600 and comes with two pieces of mutton.


He sells other mutton dishes for Rs 800-Rs 1,000 a plate.


Bunty challenges all those writing negative comments on the videos featuring his viral Maggi to come and taste the dish first. “Those who are making the negative comments have never tasted my dish…,” he tells ABP Uncut.  


So what do you think about the dish? Will you spend Rs 1,100 for a plate of Maggi?
