Microwave cauliflower and tomato curry







I made this curry in a microwave oven in an emergency. At times when no other cooking equipment is not available and a quick serving is impending, this would work as a great alternative.I thought of sharing it with you all.

Ingredients:

1. cauliflower 200 gms (wash florets and cut into small pieces)
2. onion 1 ( cut into small dices)
3. tomato 1 (cut into small dices)
4. green chilli 1 (cut into small pieces)
5. ginger small piece - for taste (cut into small pieces)
6. jeera (cumin seeds) 1/2 tea spoon
7.salt 1 tea spoon
8. red chili powder 1 tea spoon
9. oil 1 table spoon
10. turmeric powder - a hint

Method:

1.Take a microwave safe bowl
2. Place all ingredients in this bowl in layers; first pour some oil; put in jeera, then as the next layer place onions, chillies,tomatoes,ginger,and in the next layer cauliflower and finally, on top of all, sprinkle chilli powder,salt, and turmeric.
3. Close the bowl with its lid, place it in the microwave and set time for 5 minutes
4.Remove from microwave; stir so that all ingredients are mixed well. Serve with hot rotis (Indian bread) or steamed rice or any other main course.
Enjoy a crisp and tangy cauliflower curry!

    Hello Rani! I tried this recipe today. I cannot thank you enough for this. I already told you that it looked good, but it tastes even better. Besides, this is great for me, because I arrive home very hungry and I can be enjoying lunch in 10 minutes.

Sri Krishna Jayanthi / Janmashtami Greetings to all. Though for a majority of India, its a month late, some parts of India, that goes by solar calendar,  is celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 8th September 2012.  In Manipal, the city where I am living currently is also celebrating this festival in a grand manner this week along with its twin city, the Temple Town,  Udupi. Udupi is known world over for the  Temple of Lord Krishna.

Filter Coffee I like coffee since childhood. I learnt how to make Filter coffee from my mother.My husband also is coffee lover. So my coffee liking continues to influence my present home as well. Filter coffee powder is different from instant coffee powder. In India, Filter coffee powder is sold in coffee shops and in grocery stores. What makes the filter coffee powder unique is the proportionate mixture of ground roasted coffee beans with powdered chicory. Chicory enhances the taste and the smell of coffee. The filter coffee is made using an instrument called the coffee filter. The filter brews coffee into a fine dicoction. The coffee filter is made of two cups:(upper one fits onto the lower one.) 1. Upper cup is like a filter(with pierced base) for filtering out the brewed coffee. The upper cup usually comes with a lid and 2. Bottom cup to collect the decoction(brewed coffee) Today i will show you how to make Indian filter coffee. I have used a tradit
