How to make this in microwave.

Please tell me

I just tried adding a little more butter to a small portion of the dough. While the consistency of the dough does improve and I do get biscuit-like output when it is baked, the end result seems really greasy. Even to touch!

I am wondering if I should go the laddoo way. Even then though, am not sure whether to bake it or not. (There is baking powder in it!! So its weird to not bake.)

Anyway, just an update! I was hoping to make these in advance for Thanksgiving. But it doesn’t look like today is my day! Cheers anyway!

Nice website. I just came across it. Good to see lot of konkani recipes. You have great descriptions of the village also.

I am trying this recipe measurement for measurement from your site here. Unfortunately, I have no clue why, but so far the “cookie-dough” is very crumbly-powdery. I don’t know what it is that I did wrong.

I am only able to bind it into laddoos if I heat it in the microwave. I did this for 2 laddoos – I heated the “dough” in the microwave for a minute and then made 2 laddoos and put them on a cookie-sheet and baked them for 20 mins. But they didn’t melt and spread or anything. They are still exactly the same ladoo shape as before, neither harder not softer.

I don’t know what to do with the rest of the dough. I don’t know whether these “laddoos” will have decent shelf-life if I bake them? or shud I not bake them? If I add more butter will that make the dough a little more sticky? I cud try that!

Hoping to fix this somehow.

Thanks in any case! Best regards!

Recipe looks good.Can the same be made with spices instead of sugar, suitable for diabetics and calory conscious people:) Your suggestions please.

shilpa: Yes, you can prepare them in microwave oven.
