Reason: Added details
In a microwave safe bowl(large enough so that the mixture does not overflow during the process),heat the sugar and water and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Stir and then microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Now add the ghee-besan mixture,mix thoroughly and then microwave for 4 minutes.
Stir for every minute,as it tends to overflow.
At the end of 4 minutes,when you look at the vessel,pores would be formed all over.That is exactly the required consistency.
You will get the timing right after you give 1 or 2 tries.It depends on the microwave too.
Even I felt i should've reduced 40 second during my last minute .I got a little bit hard texture.
Transfer into the plate and after 2 minutes cut into desired shape.
CL kuzhambu looks very tempting... will try it out K....thanks a lot for the recipe...
Dear Dev, missing for sometime.
Well I think all ladies will be missing for sometime.
Busy with Deepavali preparations.

Thanks and take care, Kugan
Chefs are just like children.
They should be seen not heard.

Dear Ramrish, thanks for your nice post.
I hope you have recovered fully now. Take care of your health.
I am too suffering from cough and sore throat for a week.
I am worried that the children might be infected.
Rubenee is sitting for her final exam on Monday.
I have not thought about Deepavalli, I know I hardly have about 10 days.
Maybe very few sweets and kaaram just for prayers.
New clothes only for the children.
Glad you are making something for the children.
Ramrish I have made jelabis and badusha. Taught by my in laws.
Not that clever though. Thanks and take care, Kugan

Ramrish, thanks for your microwave carrot halwa and mysore pak.
I am sure it would be very useful to those who want to make it for Deepavalli.
Let me try them when I am free.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

Dear Rose, here is the first tofu recipe for you.
It goes well with ghee rice and things.
Try it out, Kugan
SPICY TOFU IN MASALA
Ingredients:
300 grms firm tofu, cut into chunks, dry fry.
The Marinade:
¼ cup water
2 tsp ginger and garlic paste
1 tsp coriander powder
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
Salt to taste
To Saute Till Brown Then Grind:
2 big onions chopped
2 tsp butter
3 tbs oil
1 bay leaf
3 cloves
1 inch cinnamon stick
2 cardamom pods, crushed
2 tsp chillie powder
½ tsp aniseed powder
½ tsp pepper powder
Little water
½ cup beaten curds
1 cup water
¼ tsp garam masala powder
Method:
Dry the tofu pieces. Cut them into chunks.
Use a non-stick pan, place the tofu pieces on it.
Keep turning the sides so that it is evenly lightly browned.
No oil is needed for this dry frying.
Put all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
Use a fork and mix them nicely. Now add in the tofu pieces.
Carefully mix so that the sauce coats the tofu properly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Sauté the chopped onions in the 2 tsp butter.
Sauté until golden, cool and grind to a paste.
Heat the oil in a non-stick wok, add in the bay leaf, cloves, cardamom and cinnamon stick.
Let them crackle, add in the ground onion paste, sauté for a minute.
Now add in the chillie, aniseed and pepper powder.
Add little water and fry till oil separates. Add in the marinated tofu pieces.
Mix well, lower the heat and add in the curds, little by little.
Let the whole thing simmer for for a minute. Add little water if needed.
Carefully stir for few minutes till the tofu pieces are fully coated with the masala.
Finally sprinkle the garam masala, and serve.
