The new wave

If one could understand the joy staying alone in a bachelor accommodation, he would have also gone through the pain of nurturing himself and his little belly. After a hard(ly) working day, when you go home to find empty dishes n pans for your empty stomach, one can only feel agony and pity on thyself. Eating out everyday will again spoil your biological and monthly economic budget. And yeah, Maggi(instant noodle) does remain an edible choice after couple of days.
Though I always boast of my efficient cooking skills, I am nowhere a match for every day cooking. It sucks!
So, when my hope for a miracle was about to diminish, I was suggested to give a second thought to buy Microwave Oven. Well, I had not heard that well for this Electric Chullah and had been always advised to refrain from it as it was good for nothing.
My thought process towards microwave oven started to change on my half yearly visit to Vincy’s Beer treat in Mumbai! There, I learned how to heat up every edible stuff at one go.
On a one fine day in the first week of the month(the most happiest week in the month), I gathered courage and visited few stores where I was shown and marketed all types of Microwave ovens. Though I was running short on budget(as i always do), I again managed to gather up courage to buy a better economical version with a CONVECTION mode!
So, we had a new lazy alien cook who worked only if we compelled him to!
Fortunately, most of the experiments I started off with this new cook were not so horrible and also there hasn’t been any explosion which inspires and promotes myself to go further with my experiments.
Microwave is dominantly designed for Videshi Khana. A lot has been written and said for indian delicacies too. but, I would suggest to first understand the functions available in the oven and adjust them with Indian cooking. Like, you would find the cookbook stating to apply some water on papad heat it in microwave for 30 secs with a tissue paper down under, but it doesn state that the water needs to be applied only on the upper side of the pappad. Nor, it states that instead of water, one can enjoy it by also applying very little oil or ghee which gives feel of a fried pappad!
So, my experiments with the oven started up with desi pasta, pizza and pappad will continue till my mind gets exhausted of thinking further….
