Cookies in the Microwave



Yeah, you read it right. I know; I thought it was not possible either. I thought microwave desserts were limited to mug cakes and mug meals but this one is a real mindblower. Not only can you indulge in your favorite oatmeal and raisin cookies in mere minutes, the taste is pretty awesome too.

 Here is what you’re going to need. And I added a little twist to the authentic oatmeal and raisin; I added peanut butters.
1 egg

3 teaspoons sugar

½ cup flour

3 tablespoons oats

2 teaspoons peanut butter

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

2 tablespoons milk

Raisins to your liking
The preparation time can take anywhere from 5 – 7 minutes and the cooking time maximum 2 minutes. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
Instructions:
  1.        If you do not have caster sugar or granulated sugar, grind it. It makes cookies stick better.
  2.       Crack in your egg in a bowl
  3.        Add in your sugar to your egg and beat it
  4.        Pour in your milk to the mixture
  5. Add in your oats, rolled or oat flour, whichever you like. I put in rolled oats.
  6. Mix peanut butter in there
  7. Add flour to the mixture
  8. Mix properly
  9. Add in the baking powder
  10. Pour in the vanilla essence
  11. Give it another go
  12. Dump your raisins in there
  13. You should end up with a kind of mushy sticky dough that you can form into little balls
  14. Grab a microwave safe plate; you can add butter paper on top of the plate if you have some
  15. Place in the cookies at a ‘social distance’ from each other. See what I did there? *wink *wink. Give them enough room.
  16.  Push some raisins on the top to make your cookies look prettier
  17. Set the microwave at P100 for 1.30 minutes
My microwave is 1250 watts so check yours to ensure the timing and adjust accordingly.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

  I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
