Dev,
Avial is a kerala dish and lots of vegetables are used. I think when we cook food in MW the nutrient value is not lost (atleast thatz what MW ads say, ofcourse, I have not personally taken any food to lab to test how much is lost or how much is stored). So, I feel basically we need to add less water or sprinkle some water when we cook food using MW (again depends of recipe) . That is the reason why am hunting for MW avial recipe.
I hope I cleared/answered /explained your query/doubt, if you are still unclear please forgive my inability to explain things.

Thanks pinkdawn... I thought the avial recipes use veggies cooked in lots of water & drained & that's Y U wanted to use the MW to preserve nutients(Since u said 'restoring the nutis',I got confused. Tht's Y I asked the prev que... No offence intended...)
As far as I know, if U can cook veggies till the water dries out(ie no draining of water)or steam cook, nutrients wouldn't be lost much... also it's better to slow cook & cook vegs until 3/4th done...
As for MW, I use it only for emergency cooking & reheating... This is after I read articles abt the hazards of MW cooking... also, felt tht fast cooking at very high temp in MW doesn't give the same taste as traditional cooking on the stove top... generally, most traditional recipes can be used for MW cooking as well..just reduce the spices & salt a bit...

Anyone knows where I can buy 'matka kulfi' in singapore? Or atleast where I can buy the small earthen pots (matka) to make this kulfi. The recipe was shown on Sanjeev Kapoor's show 'Khana Khazana'.
