Yes! My Foodcourt turns 10 today! and a recipe for Microwave Borscht with Golay- to celebrate this decade long journey,the win and good food in general!
To make the Golay/Dumplings: Grind the chana dal,cumin,green chillies and salt to a coarse paste.
In a small bowl mix it with the besan and dill. Shape small Golay/balls/dumplings from the this mixture.
To make the Borscht with Golay:
In a large microwave safe mug, add the oil,hing and cumin. Microwave for 40-50 seconds.
Add the crushed garlic and onion. Microwave for 30 seconds (the onion just turns translucent)
Add beet,sweet potato, cabbage,carrot,allspice leaf, beet greens,tomato,stock,tamarind and salt.
Microwave for 2-3 minutes,till the vegetables are just soft. Use a large mug to avoid the soup from spilling over.
Open the microwave door and quickly drop 3-4 (or more) dumplings in the mug and immediately microwave for another 2- 2.30 minutes more, till the dumplings hold shape and are cooked through. (The soup has to be hot when you add the dumplings else they will disintegrate)
Wait for a few seconds before you take out the mug.
Take out the mug, add pepper, garnish with sour cream (if using) and dill leaves.
