Home Solutions 

1. Indoor Tandoori Flavour

I marinated paneer in spices and popped it into the microwave with rotisserie. The result? A golden char, juicy bite, and that authentic smoky flavour without stepping out or setting up a tandoor.

2. Seekh Kebabs Without Fire

Making seekh kebabs usually needs skewers and open flames, but with air-fry and grill combo, I got crisp edges, soft insides, and that meat-shop aroma all in my kitchen, minus the oil and mess.

3. BBQ Chicken Made Easy

I skipped the coal and cooked BBQ chicken with rotating grill features. The even roast, sealed juices, and charred crust made it taste like it just came off an outdoor spit-roast grill.

4. Naan with Charred Bubbles

Using the bread basket function, I made garlic naan that puffed perfectly with charred spots. It felt like a clay oven result done in minutes with no smoke or high flames. Total game-changer.

5. Skewered Veggies

Bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions on skewers turned beautifully golden using combination cooking. The flavours deepened and textures crisped up without any charcoal, just pure microwave magic.

6. Crispy Parathas, No Tava

Instead of flipping endlessly on a tawa, I let the microwave handle it. Using the Indian bread mode, I got crispy parathas with soft layers like something fresh off a roadside griddle.

7. Tandoori Roti in 3 Clicks

Making restaurant-style roti was always a hassle until I tried the microwave bread basket. It took just three steps to get soft, puffed rotis with a grilled base, right from my kitchen counter.

8. Curd-Marinated Grill Wraps

After marinating chicken in microwave-set curd, I grilled it to perfection using auto-cook. Each bite had smoky depth and juicy tenderness like an outdoor BBQ wrap, minus the dripping oil and heat.
