Ok...I know that sounds really inane. But I promise there's just a little teeny weeny twist.
Did you know that when you want to boil potatoes in a pressure cooker or a pan of boiling water, you can do so in a microwave (if you have one at your disposal that is)!
I discovered this in Phuket while staying with friends. The breakfast menu was potato paranthas and when I tried to find a pot to boil the potatoes in, F- our friend produced already boiled potatoes. She explained how she always uses the microwave to do the needful. It sounded great to me- after all it does save a lot of mess and time.
All you need to do is to microwave them on high for 3-4 minutes depending on the size of the vegetable.
After returning from Thailand, I have gradually discovered that not a lot of people know about this. Why? Maybe we just never tried, the idea just didn't strike. Maybe we didn't read the right kind of cook books- the microwave variety!
Whatever the reason, I thought it would be a good idea to share this- after all I can't be the only un enlightened 'cooker' (as my son calls me) around!
