Good morning and Merry Christmas,
I was wondering whether you could direct me to any website or resource which details preparation of Goan sweets (Kuswar) by the microwave method.
Most Goan sweets, especially toffees (almond, walnut etc.) are labour intensive requiring hours of stirring on the stove till they are ready. I have tried with great success preparing Doce De Grao (Gram Dal Sweet) by the microwave method which dramatically reduces cooking time.
I realize that certain sweets like Kul Kuls have to be prepared by the traditional way but I was looking for microwave options for preparing Dodol, for example, where there is stirring on the stove involved.
Any feed back that you can provide will be gratefully appreciated.
Kind regards
Bernard Alvares
