Many without knowing what to do after purchasing the Microwave oven just use it for pre-heating. It remains as a show piece in many of the kitchens. To tell the truth even mine is one among that. I would like to share an easy recipe with you all which save time.

1. Microwave oil in a glass dish, add mustard seeds, channa dal and urad dal, curry leaves, red and green chilly and onion and stir well in between till done. Say 4 minutes.
2. Remove and add a pinch of turmeric and salt and cook for 1 minute.
