Microwave Coconut burfi

Coconut burfis are my alltime favourite.Wud love to munch on these anytime.But the sugar syrup will be a big headache for me always.So i was finding ways to get rid of this sugar syrup process.Saras, has posted a microwave versio.It was too good,I tasted it .So prepared a microwave version of coconut burfi.It came out really well.Here comes ,her version of burfi.I have increased the quantity of rava a bit than her recipe.Give it a try ,u will love it.I have used store bought coconut flakes.We can also use fresh cocout flakes also.

Ingredients:

Coconut Flakes - 2 cups( Fresh or dessicated one, I used dessicated one)

Sugar - 1 1/2cups

water -3/4 cup

Rava - 1/4 cup

Ghee - 2 tbsp

Cardamom powder - 1tsp

Salt - A pinch

Saffron - few (optional)

Method:

• Take Microwave safe bowl & add sugar, water and mix it.
• Keep this mixture in microwave for 10 minutes on high. Stir in between to bring sugar syrup into string consistency. ( First I kept it for 4 minutes & then for 3 minutes and again for 3 minutes & perfectly got the desired consistency.)

Add coconut flakes,  Rava, Ghee, Cardamom powder & salt to the syrup and mixwell.

Keep this mixture again in microwave for 2 minutes & stir in between.(If u feel the mixture is too liquidy,then add some more rava and microwave it again for 3 mins)

Mean while grease a plate, & pour the coconut burfi mixture to it & spread it into equal thickeness.

Allow it to cool & cut it into desired shape.

Take it out without breaking the burfi & store it in air tight container.

Note:
We can also use condensed milk,instead of sugar.But the cooking time will be more for that and the rava also increases.

Rice kheer with Cashew dressing!!!

 Note:
 If the rice kheer is too thick,just add hot milk to it.Sugar can be added more or less ,depending on ur taste buds.
Alternatively, we can just add the rice into the milk without breaking it ,but i like it slightly broken.Microave timings are just a guideline,as it may vary from one to another.Cook till it has a payasam consistancy.

Microwave paal guava

We were craving for Aavin 'paal guava', then we came to end with this recipe. Its very easy recipe. Any one can do it. It is a microwaveable dish can be cooked within 10 mins.

Ingredients:
1.Condensed milk - 1 can
2. Curd - 2 tbsp
3.Ghee - 1 tbsp

Method:
* Take a microwaveable bowl , add all the ingredients together.
* Keep the bowl in microwave for 3 mins.
* Take out and stir it ,then stir it every 30 sec for 5 1/2 minutes.
* Now u can see that condensed milk gets curdled and gets thickend.
* Add a pinch of cardoman pwdr and serve.
* It will surely resemble the aavin paal guava.


Note:
Make sure the curd is in right consistancy.Bcoz mature curd helps the condensed milk to curdle soon.
