    This weekend i tried peanut masala in microwave. I have been thinking of having it for a long time and controlling myself saying that caloire will be more. When we went for weekend grocery shopping my husband was trying to get that. I stopped him telling the same reason . Instead I got a packet of peanut . I wanted to try preparing it in microwave with no /less oil.

    Here is the ingredients I used.

    groundnut/peanut - 250 gm
    besam flour - 1 cup
    rice flour - 1/4 cup
    Chilli powder
    curry leaf
    fenugreek powder 1 teaspoon
    1 pod of washed and crushed garlic with the skin.
    I mixed all these with water and salt and kept it for 15 min.
    After that in microwave (after spraying very less oil on the vessel may be few drops) for 10 -15 min .

    It was good , My husband and even my inlaws had it nicely. Infact the idea of adding curry leaf was give by my motherinlaw
