    TIPS:

  • Egglants which are light in weight are preferable.
  • 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.

Serve hot with: Sprouted Field Beans Pulav (Vaal ni Dal nu Pulav), white rice, or Indian bread (Roti).
