Most times the boys play together well but you never know which triggers the fight and they end up fighting. It will take a sumo wrestler to separate them on those times, really! Those times gets me blow my top and yell at the top of my voice, asking what the matter was. This is when Konda will play the ace card and teach my own lesson to me. That is handling kids with soft voice and utter sweetness. This is what I tell her when she yells at them. So she remembers those lectures very well and immediately applies on me.
Knowing that days are running and I don't have any entry for MEC: Fruits, I knew I had to make that Mixed fruits Halwa that was shared by the MW Chef. The recipe was an approximation with 1 fruit each, I knew it was going to end up more. So eyeballed and added it.
But the fact that it came out very well and hubby dear liked it, made me think I should have made more.
Microwave Mixed Fruit Halwa ~ Step by Step
Take all the fruits you have on hand, cut them into small bits.
Make a puree of them together, mostly without water. Since I used very small quantity, I had to add 1/2 glass of water, which proved very expensive!
In a microwave safe bowl, take the puree, add 1 tsp of ghee/ clarified butter. Micro for 5 mins.
This is the condensed milk I used
After 5 mins, remove and stir well.
Ok stirring happens for 2 mins!
Then add 2 tsp of sugar, 2 tsp of Condensed milk.
Micro again for 5 mins.
If it requires micro for another 2 mins to get all the moisture off.
The recipe calls for 1 of each fruit, but I added only half or handful of them.
Ingredients Needed:
Apple - 1/2
Guava - 1/2
Pomegranate - 2 -3 tbsp
Banana - 1/2
Sapota / Chikoo - 1
Sugar - 2 tsp
Condensed Milk - 2 tsp
Ghee - 2 tsp
Method to prepare:
Wash, cut and puree all fruits together in a mixer.
In a microwave safe bowl, add the puree with 1 tsp ghee for 5 mins.
Then remove and stir well. Add sugar, condensed milk, mix well and again micro for 5 mins.
Remove and stir it again. If it is still watery, micro for another 2 mins after adding the remaining ghee. Else you can just remove and serve.

Halwa looks yummy Valli.
ha ha.. I can imagine those drama and those fights:P. They will definitely fight but if you set them apart, they wont even talk to you. This is what happened to me. I took one of my girl to Chennai and the other one was with daddy cos she had some function in her class. Of course she joined me the next day. But till then both (N was with me and M with my husband)of them were very quiet and they hardly open their mouth.

Thanks for giving instructions on how to create these dishes. Taking advantage of a microwave would seem to save on overall cooking time as opposed to a conventional oven.
