And my and my sis favorite: chocolate brownie

  Here's!!! an easy recipe to make egg less chocolate brownie at home.

Ingredients:
200 gms of grated dark chocolate, 6 tbsps unsaltened butter, ½ cup castor sugar, ½ cup maida, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp sodium bi-carbonate, ½ cup of butter milk or beaten curd.
Method:
Sift the flour, baking powder, sodium bi-carbonate and a small pinch of salt. Keep it aside. In a pan, boil a cup of water. In a bowl, have the grated chocolate and make it sit on the pan. See to that, it doesn't get drowned. Alternatively, you can put the grated chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave it for a minute. In a bowl, add the butter and castor sugar and stir them, till the mixture gets creamy. Now add the melted chocolate and mix them. Add the beaten curd or butter milk and flour to the mixture and mix well. Grease a glass bowl with butter and pour the flour mixture and microwave it for three minutes. Remove it and microwave it again at 70 per cent heat for another minute. Set this aside for five minutes. Preheat the microwave plus grill mode for five minutes at 220 degree Celsius and bake the brownies at 220 degree Celsius for three minutes. Remove from the microwave and let it cool.





Enjoy it.!!!!!!:-)
