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 Brownie :)  

Requirements-
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 :)

  1. 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.

  2. 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 :)

  3. 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.. :(
