Mocha Walnut Brownie



Rich, chocolatey and dense brownies filled with roasted walnut for a decadent and delicious dessert.

It was so easy to make and so fulfilling to eat. It's very addictive. Sadly they did not last long in my house. My kids gobbled them up as soon as they were out of the oven. 

Coffee powder really makes a difference in this recipe. By adding coffee it enhances the flavor. It doesn't leave any trace of coffee but instead elevates the rich chocolatey flavour. These brownies are to die for.

Let's bake!


Ingredients:

- 170g Dark chocolate chips

- 90g Butter

- 5 tbsp Cocoa powder

- 100g All purpose flour

- 1/4 tsp Baking powder

- 1 tbsp Coffee powder

- 2 Eggs

- 1 Egg yolk

- 1/2 cup walnut ( roasted and coarsely)
  (chopped)

- 150g sugar

- 1tsp vanilla essence / extract

- Sea salt to sprinkle


Method:

: Preheat oven to 170c .

: Cover the bottom and sides of a 8 to 9 inch 
  square baking pan with parchment paper      on all sides, leaving some overhang 
  to easily lift the brownies out of the
  pan once baked.

: Sift flour and baking powder in a mixing
  bowl. Set aside

: Melt chocolate chips, butter, cocoa powder
  and coffee powder in a double boiler over
  simmering water until melted. Remove 
  from the heat.



: With a hand mixer beat eggs and vanilla
  essence/ extract until combine.



: Add sugar and continue beating until well
  incorporated.




: Add flour and baking powder, fold it all
  together with a wooden spoon or spatula.




: Mix in coarsely chopped walnuts.

: Pour the better into the baking pan
  



: Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick 
  comes out with moist crumbs clinging.
  Keep your eyes on the oven. All ovens vary    so know your oven.

: Sprinkle with flakes of sea salt.

: Once cool cut into squares and enjoy!

Basque Burnt Cheese Cake

       BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE  It is a no crust cheesecake with a rustic appearance. A soft gooey centre and not overly sweet with a hint of burnt caremal from the burnished top. This cheesecake is truly something to love.  TIPS TO BAKE BASQUE BURNT CHEESE CAKE : Make sure all ingredients are in room temperature. It ensures a smooth mixture. : Time and temperature are the most important parts of this recipe. I'm using a 6-inch cake pan. In my convection oven, I bake it at 200c for 40 minutes. (But time may vary depending on your oven). You should not bake the cake longer then indicated, even if it looks a bit wobbly in the centre. If you leave in the oven too long it will result a curdle cheesecake texture. Even though you want the cake to look dark, you don't want it to burn. If it gets too dark fast while baking, cover with aluminum foil. Should you find that your cake is almost close to baking but hasn't taken on the colour you like. What you can do is turn on the grill

 CHICKEN TIKKA BUTTER MASALA A creamy yet mildly spiced chicken dish that gives an irresistible aroma. Rich and creamy with bites of chicken . This is what call pure pleasure. Some notes on making Chicken Tikka Butter Masala - I'm using skinless chicken breast for this recipe. The chicken is marinated for at least 1 hour or overnight for better result. This give the yogart time to tenderize them, building a better result when cooking over high heat. You can use chicken thigh instead if you wish. Go with what you like. - This is a simplified recipe adapted for home use and is made without using a tandoor oven. I'm using regular non stick pan over high heat to sear the chicken. Avoid over crowding the pan helps char ( not burn) the chicken pieces instead of simmering in juices. Chicken pieces should be golden brown and slightly dark brown on the edges. - This recipe normally requires kasoori methi (dry fenugreek leaves) . It is added to the dish a very small amount. The earthy fl

Sushi Rolls

How To Make Sushi Rolls Hi guys!! For todays recipe I'll be showing you hot to make sushi rolls. Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish made with dried seaweed and cooked rice rolled with your selections of fillings. My daughter's favourite dish is sushi. Recently she's been bugging me almost every day to make sushi. At first this task was quite daunting to me. I had seen the chefs at the Japanese restaurants make sushi when we went out for dinner . It seemed so complicated and precise. How was I supposed to replicate that? So I did a little research and to my immense relief .. you dont need much to make sushi. Sure you need a few essentials like a bamboo mat and seaweed but the fillings are customisable leaving you with an endless array of options. It's also a great activity to do with your kids! Since it's the quarantine period I was a little worried on where I was going to get my ingredients. Lucky for me almost everything I needed was available online. So my daugh
