When I cook or bake, Vaandu will be my sous chef. It’s always fun to cook with him. We got him a small apron and cap and he always wears them and keeps asking me non-stop questions. During the April month baking marathon, he was helping me out with all the recipes. He was asking about the difference between conventional oven and microwave oven and how it works and OMG! This fella makes me read and research more. When we were trying our microwave Mysore Paahu (it’s his favorite sweet), he was asking me to bake a cake in microwave oven.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, here is the microwave appalam recipe. We either deep fry the appalams or roast them on stove top (sutta appalam) but this is so simple and tastes exactly like fried appalam. Guess, from whom I learnt this recipe? From my hubby. When I came to US after my marriage we stayed in an apartment which has the coil stove top and I had lot of mishaps. I was scared to fry and didn’t even appalams or pooris. And that’s when M shared this idea with me. For three appalams you need only 2 tsps of oil.

French toast is very popular all over the world and we can’t differentiate to which country it exactly belongs to. There are different varieties and flavors to it and here is my eggless version of it. I can hear you laughing and telling “what French toast without egg?” But yeah why can’t we have it that way? Last week we saw French toast in a coffee mug and it was very interesting and it does save a lot of time. Mornings are always crazy for me and I am sure that will be the scenario in most of the households. This is a simple flavorful breakfast recipe and I am sure will be a hit in your kitchen too.
The base recipe is taken from Minimalist baker. I know all food bloggers love this site – a great resource for all the bloggers. Be it photography or themes or WP plugins – it’s my go to site. So now combing back to the recipe I didn’t go for vegan version. Just took the concept of adding chia seeds and went with regular milk and maple syrup. This is comparatively a low calorie version.

Steps:
That’s it. The grab and go french toast is ready.

Loading InLinkz ...Welcome to the 21st day of baking mania.
Mysore pak or pahu or pagu, however it is spelled is one of the favorite sweet of kiddo. He can eat this as a meal itself. Last time during our India trip, he kept on munching the grand sweets mysore pak. I have already posted the traditional way of doing this recipe. As it was kiddos favorite I was looking for an easy recipe. When I found this microwave recipe I was elated and this became an every now and then dessert. I can just do it for kiddo alone and I make it as thins mainly because to portion control the sweet intake during nights. I don’t want to overdose with sweet in the evening or night. I took the base recipe from here and for both traditional and this one I used brown sugar / cane sugar.

Welcome to the 12th day of baking mania and wishing you all a very Happy Tamil New Year :-)
My 100th post was Theratti Paal. Its one of my favorite sweet. The start from scratch process takes a loooong time. So I wanted to try this microwave one. This is a simple dish which can be done within 30 minutes. Paal khoa is very famous in Srivilliputhur. Its not only famous for that but also for the Andal Temple and its tower is the official government symbol of State of Tamil Nadu. As today is Tamil New Year, I wanted to post something sweet and here it is :-) My favorite sweet. I have tried similar version with almond flour too and you can find the recipe here. The measurement differs for almond flour and milk powder and also for this recipe I used ghee instead of butter. Its perfect for potlucks.

Welcome to the 5th day of April Baking Mania :-)
I love Haldiram’s chats especially the moong dhal chat. In one of the FB groups, I saw someone posting this recipe and went through that and thought of trying it out right away.It didn’t happen and when I wanted to try I forgot how long to soak and microwave it ;-) When I searched for that recipe again in the FB group, I couldn’t find it. :-( Thats the problem with big groups. So I tried couple of times and finally got the timing and recipe right :-) So the base recipe credit goes to the blogger who posted in the FB group. Here is my version. As there is a soaking time, please plan accordingly.
Note: Depending upon your microwave powder setting the time might vary.

That’s it. Yummy Microwave moong dhal chat is ready. Enjoy with a tea and of course a book. :-)
The second dish that I am preparing for the BM is sweet tomato pachadi which can be done within 15 minutes actually :-) :-) Its a two ingredient recipe. All you need is ripe tomatoes and sugar thats all. Usually for Tamil New year and Ugadi, we prepare something sweet and sour. Usually it will be the Raw Mango Pachadi. Initially it was difficult for me to find raw mangoes and preparing that on a busy week day morning was difficult also. That’s when my MIL suggested this. Instead of mango pachadi, I started preparing this on week days for prasadam. This is a great rice accompaniment also.
