Stir fry or curry, however okra aka bhindi and potatoes works wonder together, one of my recent trial with these both vegetables turned out absolutely yummy. This sabzi goes for simple ingredients with few spice powders, and i went for microwave oven cooking for making this fingerlicking curry. Microwave cooking needs patience but you doesnt need to stay next to your oven as we do if you are cooking in stove top. Once the cooking time gets finished,your dishes will be ready to have, actually i love preparing foods through microwave oven, i know some are using their microwave oven just for reheating but trust me you can make varieties of dishes with this kitchen gadget. I have prepared couple of dishes with my microwave oven and still i cook my basmati rice through it,since ever i have started cooking basmati rice through microwave oven i get prefectly cooked basmati rice. You know i can talk for hours about microwave cooking, actually you can prepare a Royal feast with it.
