Baking Brownie

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon and the husband busy with his laptop and working from home, my little girl busy watching her favourite cartoon shows.. And I was as usual doing some household work.. Suddenly I found one sheet of paper in one of the drawers at home. This sheet had nothing but a hand-written note of a recipe of brownie. Then I realised that was the recipe of Tarla Dalal. I quickly checked my facebook profile where I had uploaded the picture of the final product made by me following her recipe long time back. I immediately thought to pen it down for you all in my blog. So here it is...






Ingredients:

2 cups chopped dark chocolate
(250 gms)
1/2 cup softened butter
1/4 cup castor sugar
1cup plain flour
1/2 tsp soda bicarbonate
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup curd beaten
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 chopped walnuts


Method:

Grease and line a microwave safe bowl with butter and keep aside..
In a bowl, Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and keep aside. Now in a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate pieces and microwave on high for 1 min. Remove from microwave and Stir to get a smooth mixture. You can use double boiler method also for melting the chocolate. In another bowl add the butter and castor sugar and stir with a wooden spoon till the mixture is soft and creamy. Now add the melted chocolate to this butter mixture and mix lightly.Into this mixture now add curd, vanilla essence, walnuts, flour mixture and mix and fold lightly. Now the batter is ready to go into the oven. Transfer this mixture to the greased bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes. next reduce the temperature from high to 70% power and microwave for another 1 min . 

Now preheat the oven using oven+grill option for 5 mins at 220deg c. Bake the brownie in the preheated oven for 3 mins at 220degC.  Once it is baked, remove and keep aside to let it cool.

Cut the brownie into square shaped pieces and serve with hot chocolate sauce and ice cream. My twist while serving the brownie was with sprinkling some icing sugar on it and whipped cream on the top of the brownie with a cherry which added a nice colour to it and made it look more gorgeous..

DO try this recipe and lemme know the feedback too :)
