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...

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

  I still remember,  I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived ...

Most Asked Question

  Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. I...
