| Serves: 4
Cooking time (approx.): minutes
Style: North Indian Vegetarian
2 tablespoon(s) oil
4 flakes garlic crushed
2 green bell pepper(s) cut into long thin strips
1 teaspoon(s) each of red chilli and coriander powders
1 teaspoon(s) hot spice mix (garam masala) powder (optional)
8 tablespoons tomato puree
salt and sugar to taste
200 grams (about 8 oz.) cottage cheese cut into (1/2") cubes
- Heat oil and garlic on 80% power in a microwave-safe bowl uncovered for about 2 minute(s) or till the garlic has been fried and the raw smell has gone.
- Add the green bell pepper strips, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala (optional) powder, tomato puree, salt and sugar. Mix well. Microwave uncovered on high (100%) power for about 3 minutes.
- Add cottage cheese. Mix well and keep aside. Just before serving, microwave covered on high (100%) power for about 2 minute(s) or till the cottage cheese has become soft.
TIPS: - The cottage cheese cubes can be basted with oil and microwaved separately on high (100%) power for about 2 minutes before using it in the dish.
- When the microwave cooking time for a step exceeds 2 minutes, it is highly recommended the contents be checked and stirred at regular intervals to avoid burning of food.
- Standing time is a very important step as it completes the microwave cooking process of a dish. Ideally, allow the dish to stand for about 5 minutes before serving.
