How to make scrambled eggs in a Microwave?

In the series about eggs, we saw a post on making scrambled eggs. In this post I would like to write about making scrambled eggs but in a microwave oven than a conventional way of preparation. It is all similar to preparing scrambled eggs in a pan, this microwaved scrambled eggs.

Why did I want to write this post? cause I have an oven and have used it very sparingly and most often than not it would be used to boil water and heat coffee or milk. One fine day I thought to myself how else can I make use of the oven and it was a realization that eggs can be tested (the one thing that would not require greater time and energy). So there I started this experimentation with eggs and to my disbelief the end product (scrambled eggs) were done perfect to the "T"

Now, I go right to this post... find below the ingredients and the instructions.

Ingredients : (the same ingredients as a regular preparation)

3 nos - Eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp - Butter
3 tbsp - Milk
1 tbsp - Cheddar Cheese

Cooking Instructions :

- Break the eggs into a bowl
- Add one tablespoon of milk, this will ensure the dish does not turn out tough or rubbery.
- Mix well until the color and texture are uniform throughout.
- Add salt and pepper to season
- Grease a microwave safe bowl with cooking spray or butter. If you do this, the egg batter will not stick to the bowl in the cooking process.
- Place in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds. Remove, as they will be partially formed.
- Use your fork and stir them gently, so that the uncooked blends in with the still loose egg. Set the eggs back in the microwave.
- Microwave the eggs for about 10 seconds more and check them. The moisture content depends a lot on how you want it. If wanting drier eggs place them in the oven for a few more seconds.
- Microwave for 10 second intervals until you get more solid egg than liquid. Be sure not to overcook or burn the eggs.

We are looking at this post to understand the cuisine of the Udupi region. This is another post in the series "Knowing a cuisine"

A very traditional and religious this region in Karnataka, literally shuns non vegetarian food.
Udupi cuisine is a world renowned cuisine of the southern India. Udupi cuisine comprises dishes made primarily from grains, beans, vegetables, and fruits. The variety and range of dishes is wide, and a hallmark of the cuisine involves the use of locally available ingredients.
The very famous masala dosa has its origins in Udupi and a whole school of South Indian vegetarian cuisine takes its name from this town. This is ‘pure’ vegetarian food and ofcourse adhering to strict vedic tradition the use of onions and garlic is discouraged.

Pumpkins and gourds are the main ingredients, while sambar is prepared with ground coconut and coconut oil as its base. Rasam, a spicy pepper water, is an essential part of the menu and so are jackfruit, colocasia leaves, raw green bananas, mango pickle, red chillies and salt. Adyes (dumplings), ajadinas (dry curries), and chutneys, including one made of the skin of the ridge gourd, are specialities.

There can be a lot more that can be told about the cuisine of the udupi region. There are a lot of signature dishes fromt this region like, bisi bela bath which is a mixture of rice, lentils and vegetables which once prepared has so much flavour and taste which blows people away. Another signature dish that originated from this udupi region is Upma prepared using sooji, wow is not the word for this dish usually served as breakfast.

Knowing a Cuisine - Hyderabadi Cuisine

As you are aware there was this new series on Knowing a Cuisine and that series was started with the Chettinad Cuisine. Another famous cuisine, the Hyderabadi Cuisine would feature as a second post on the series knowing a cuisine. Originating from a region in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, the hyderabadi cuisine is ranking very high on the list of cuisines that trigger the taste buds.

The highlight of the Andhra Pradesh cuisine is the Hyderabadi food. It is famous for its rich and aromatic nature. It's taste is very distinguishable having a liberal use of exotic spices and ghee. The Hyderabadi food uses fresh fruit instead of dried fruits. It is also famous for its non-vegetarian preparation and Lamb is the most widely used meat here.Biryani, one of India's most popular foods, is a flavored rice with meat or vegetables. It is an important part of Hyderabadi cuisine.

Hyderabadi cuisine is inspired by the Mughlai cuisine. This style of cooking is here since the Asaf Jahi period. Thus, the Hyderabadi cuisine is a perfect amalgamation of the typical Mughlai flavors with a blend of rich spices.

What makes the Hyderabadi Cuisine special is the use of special ingredients, carefully chosen and cooked to the right degree. The addition of a certain Herb, Spice, Condiment, or an Amalgam of these add an unique taste and texture to the dish. The herbs and spices used and the method of preparation gives the dish its name. "Murgh do pyaza" gets its name from the onions that are added twice to the dish in two variations.

The Masalas or the rich blend of herbs, spices and condiments give the dishes a base, or what is popularly known as "Gravy". Some of these blends are a well-kept secret that pass only down the family line or from the Ustad(Teacher) to his Shagird(Pupil). The head cooks or the "Khansas" were an asset to the house hold, and were treated with due respect.

The word "Nawabi" is as synonymous with the Hyderabadi cuisine as "Shahi" is with Luknowi. These terms conjure delicacies that are rich in taste and texture with mouth-watering aromas. The "Kebabs" in Hyderabad need a special mention, the "ShammiKebab" is one such popular dish. The Kebabs are originally from Greece!!

Now, we know the cuisine and what need to follow this post is the popular dishes and recipes, which will sure follow. Subscribe to more such posts by email

Recipes using Broccoli - Cream of Broccoli Soup

After the previous post under the series knowing a vegetable on Broccoli, I thought I would go ahead and provide a recipe using broccoli. Every time someone says broccoli, I have all my senses in attention. It is very important for you to know that I am in love with broccoli and if someone says cream of broccoli I just am unable to do anything before a sip on that.

Find below the recipe for cream of broccoli, it is made using bechamel sauce as a base. Bechamel is a white sauce prepared using flour and butter. I will write about making bechamel in the posts to come.

Ingredients:

2 heads - Broccoli
200gma - Butter
3 cloves - Garlic, chopped
1 tbsp - Chervil (fresh/dried chopped)
1 tsp - Salt
1 tsp - White pepper
3 cups - Whole milk
1 no - Egg yolk, beaten
1/4 cup - Flour
1 cup - Cream
1/3 cup - Gruyere cheese
1/3 cup - Parmesan cheese

Cooking Method:

- Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces. Discard the hard stems, but keep the tender stem parts and leaves.

- Steam the cut broccoli for about 5-8 minutes, until just bright green in color. Do not over- cook.

- In a 10-inch enameled (non-metal) skillet, heat 6 oz of butter until melted. Add chopped garlic and wait until butter is hot enough to cook with. Add steamed broccoli, then chervil to the skillet. Lightly salt the broccoli.

- Cover, and cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for another 5-10 minutes or until the broccoli turns a darker green color and becomes very soft.

- Mash the broccoli right in the skillet, using a potato masher or a strong wooden spoon. Mash until there are no pieces remaining that are too big to fit in a soup spoon.

- While broccoli is cooking, add beaten egg yolk to 2 cups of milk. Put 3 Tbsp butter into a 2-3 quart saucepan. Use enamel or glass for best soup flavor. Metal pans will make this soup bitter.

- Melt butter and add flour. When the flour bubbles and starts to cook, add the egg/milk mixture into the saucepan. Add the cardamom and mace if using, and white pepper. Stir sauce constantly with wooden spoon until thick. Lower the cooking heat.

- Add the mashed broccoli mixture to the sauce. Stir until well-mixed. Slowly stir in the remaining milk and the cream. As soon as the soup becomes hot enough, add the grated cheeses.

- Turn the heat down lower and simmer for about 5 more minutes, stirring to allow the cheeses to melt and mix.

I was told by a few pro bloggers and my idol Darren Rowse(not personally though) that it's better to write more posts to attract traffic and to attract the spiders. hew.... spiders???

If you are not understanding what I am talking about, I will quickly explain to you as to what I am getting to. I was talking about blogging and one of the ways to be a better blogger.... writing more posts. Do you know blogging can be very lucrative? check my posts on Are you ready to blog and what is a blog. If you are still in the dark let me tell you that I am writing another blog on Earning money blogging.

The dishes are hot and pungent with fresh ground masalas, and topped with a boiled egg that is usually considered essential part of a meal. They also use a variety of sun dried meats and salted vegetables, reflecting the dry environment of the region. The meat is restricted to fish, prawn, lobster, crab, chicken and mutton. Chettiars do not eat beef and pork.Most of the dishes are eaten with rice and rice based accompaniments such as dosais, appams, idiyappams, adais and idlis. The Chettinad people through their mercantile contacts with Burma, learnt to prepare a type of rice pudding made with sticky red rice.

Chettinad cuisine offers a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Some of the popular vegetarian dishes include idiyappam, paniyaram, vellai paniyaram, karuppatti paniyaram, paal paniyaram, kuzhi paniyaram, kozhakattai, masala paniyaram, adikoozh, kandharappam, seeyam, masala seeyam, kavuni arisi & athirasamSpices usedIn Chettinad food, the most important spices are marathi mokku (dried flower pods), anasipoo (star aniseed) and kalpasi (dried bark).

Culture of eating in India

This is a post to understand the culture of eating out in India. Widen your knowledge.... Many Indian restaurants are not very formal. First of its kind article. I would provide more such articles and label them under general articles
Yes even those considered a best eatery or restaurant (Indian restaurant are usually very similar). The etiquette for Indian (or any ethnic South Asian) restaurants might be little different from other restaurants. Below I have provided some basic rules. These anyways is fast changing and this is just a guidance what to expect when you are in India.

1. No Beef or Pork ; Many Indians are either Hindus or Muslims. To Hindus cows are sacred, so no beef and to muslims pigs are disgusting animals to consume, so no pork. There are a few restaurants in India which are pure vegetarian (They dont even serve eggs).

2. Eating with hands ; Many types of foods especially the Indian breads are consumed by hands. It is ok to consume food with hands provided your hands are clean and the food is not messy.

3. Eating from others' plates ; Indians have this concept of people not encouraging the sharing of plates or cutleries coming in contact with their food. You cannot consume food from other plates because of the saliva or the indirect contact of your mouth into someones food.

4. Wining and Dining ; Indians do not have wine and dine culture and so even the government restricts eateries serving liquor without permission. Be aware not all restaurants serve liquor in India.
