Serving Ideas : Easy microwave directions for 700 watt oven.
NOTES : If you can't find tamarind , you can use lemon juice. If using
lemon juice, simply add this to the besan & mix well, then cook for the
specified
time.
For microwave ovens lower than 700 watts: 500 watts: add 40 seconds to
every
minute stated in recipe. 600 watts: add 20 seconds to every minute stated
in
recipe. 650 watts: only a slight increase in overall time necessary.
