Yes, you read right. A dish that has been made in a Microwave for the very first time on FLF. I am one of those who wouldn't dare 'cook' in the Microwave and confined this rectangular appliance to mere reheating of food(do I see nodding heads?). Back home among family, it seems to be a fad to own a microwave, an even more ignored appliance in the kitchen which sits in a corner under a host of other things collecting dust. Every relative I spoke to had only one demand, that I teach them how to cook and bake in a Microwave. I winced at the thought of doing either -- cooking or baking in a MW.
I finally cracked under the pressure and teaming up with mom decided to tackle this task head-on. Cooking and baking in the Microwave has already been taken to new heights here and I feel like a toddler taking her first steps.(Don't jeer at me oh great "Microwavers"!) Well, I had to start some day. Mom and I agreed upon a simple tomato chutney and a few minutes later, we were dunking into some finger licking goodness!
You will need:
1 cup chopped tomatoes
3 tbsp Sugar
2 tsp Oil
1 inch piece ginger, grated
4 cloves Garlic
1/4 tsp Onion seeds (Kalonji)
2 tbsp vinegar (or to taste)
1 tsp Chilli powder
Salt to taste
Place chopped tomatoes, onion seeds and oil in a MW safe bowl and cook on 100% power for 4mins. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the remaining ingredients, except vinegar, and continue to cook on HIGH for 7-8 minutes stirring thrice in intervals. The tomatoes should have softened and the chutney, fragrant. Add vinegar as needed depending on sourness of tomatoes.
Let cool and store in an air-tight container.
