Taking part in an event has always been something I look forward and is such a fun. From my first one when I participated in RCI: Maharashtrian, I had real fun looking at new recipes and cuisine and trying them out. Since then I always thought I should start one myself. As I said I was planning on Express Meals or something on Lunch Box Series. But looks like Microwave cooking is more in demand.
Cooking in Microwave has always been a big challenge to me even now. Most I have done has been only baking a cake. Then I use it mostly for reheating. We had an oven, which we used extensively for baking. But when we exchange that for a Microwave, we thought we will change our cooking drastically. But when faced with the fact that it involves very specific requirements, I have been hesitant on using it frequently. I came to know few others also felt the same. So here comes a challenge to cook in Microwave, based on the theme of the Month.
Calling all you food lovers, wanting to use Microwave for cooking to participate in this Event, which is going to be "Microwave Easy Cooking". Lets begin with sweet beginning.
From the coming month, the theme will be announced during the Round up.

OOH!! That was quick!!:D
Good theme. I love it but not enough time though! Need atleast a month next time.
We will be on a little vacation from this Friday to Tuesday but I will try and cook something simple after I come back before the 25th. You chose a great theme, thanks!:)
Cool Theme.
Some sweets that are rather complicated and time consuming can become super easy in the microwave.
Amma has already posted one classic - Theratti Paal aka Kala Kand. I dont think I would ever thought of making this awesome milk sweet had it not been for the microwave.
You can except quite a few entries from our blog. :)
Nice event sri! It will be a pleasure to participate!
Good luck!

Hi Srivalli! great event with sweets. Surely I will participate. Thanks for hosting a lovely and great event.
I really have not made any dish in the microwave, just use it for heating up stuff.will see if I can come up with something simple.
I am also hosting an event. Will try to post a recipe for this event before august 25th.

Hi Srivalli garu
Came after a long break of 25 days.I couldn't believe that a humble request from a non-blogger lime me to start an event on microwave cooking would be taken seriously.I can not thank you enough for that.So...so...so very kind of you. God bless you.
Hello Satya, was wondering why there was no response from you. Its good to have you back. Thanks for your suggestions, that has led to a wonderful event for us to learn. Do drop in again when you find time.
