Microwave or baking oven? Hi Ashna/Vishnu Vandana, Can the eggless curd cake be made in the microwave?? Please let me know and I will try rightaway(I have all the ingredients) and post my feedback, I am really excited to know! Cheers- Shalini
Meetha soda Another quick question...is meetha soda same as baking powder or is it soda bicarb? I believe both are used in baking, but I am not sure what 'meetha soda' stands for... Thanks, Shalini
