I recently started ‘Restroview’ where i give my opinion on places i’ve eaten at. Well I dont believe in food critiques who dont cook/ bake themselves.they’ve no idea how much effort it takes to make those creations which satiate one’s gastric juices.
here's a brownie recipe i had tried out . Works out for you vegetarians who want to avoid eggs. and you can do it with a microwave oven also. The Regular Chocolate BrownieRequirements- Maida- 2 cups Water-1 cup Demerara ( brown ) sugar- 1 cup. Granulated sugar (white) - 1 cup. note- white sugar has to be grinded. it's optional for the brown . Salt- 1 teaspoon Vanilla essence- 1 teaspoon Chocolate- preferably finely chopped chocolate about 200g. or as a substitute cocoa powder can also be used- 3/4th cup Oil- 1/2 cup Baking Powder- 1/2 teaspoon optional- Nuts/ alcohol/ chocolate chips/ cinnamon Procedure- Preparation - 15-20mins 1- Boil water. 2- As the water is boiling add 1/2 cup of Maida and start mixing it. 3- After Maida has been mixed, remove the mixture off the boil and keep it aside. let it cool. 4- Melt the chocolate if you're using it. 5- To the chocolate add the sugars,the oil and Vanilla essence. 6- Add the first mixture to the chocolate mix. 7- Sift the remaining Maida, Baking Powder and salt. 8- Now add this to the above mixture, and mix it with your hand. 9- If you're using any of the optional items you can add it now. 10- Add it to a pan that's been greased by butter or alternatively you can use a butter paper. Heat at 180 degrees C for 35 mins. You are ready to go now!!
Points to be noted- It's very important not to over bake it. So it's ok if you pause the oven once around 30 minutes to check on it. Another important point is in a cake you test if it's ready when the you dip a knife/ toothpick and nothing sticks to it when you remove it. That's not true for a brownie.It has to stick over here. It does not matter which cup you use as long as it's the same cup size for all the ingredients

it sounds amazing when you read it. I would love to try some of your hand made brownies the next time i’m in bangalore. Heta tells me you’re a genius at stuff like that!
Heta hears about all the desserts i make. But unfortunately has not got to taste them yet.
point no 10 does not seem to have been printed properly- the alternative is using butter paper.
and the testing part is supposed to say that in a cake when you dip a knife/ toothpick and it does not stick then it is ready. In a brownie it will stick and that’s what makes it different from a cake
wow.. this is gr8!!
i really want to eat the stuff that u make. and it is very unfortunate that me being in bangalore now…stil hvnt been able to have anything..
