        MINI DOUBLE CHOCOLATE                    COOKIES WITH WALNUT






No one can resist a chocolate cookies, especially when it's in mini form!. These tender one bite mini chocolate cookies are so simple to make butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder and I do add a little of coffee to really ample up the chocolate flavour. Then I add lots of chocolate chunks and walnut. Extra chunks of chocolate piercing through the cookie, melts away in your mouth makes them extra delicious and finally the sea salt finish really takes these cookies to the next level. My kids love them.

You only need one mixing bowl and a spoon. There's no mixer required and no chilling the dough. How simple can that be!

So, roll up your sleeves and let's get baking!





INGREDIENTS

- 8 ounce salted butter ( if using unsalted add 1/4 tsp salt)

- 6 ounce light brown sugar 

- 2 egg yolks ( lightly beaten)

- 2 tsp vanilla essence

- 1 tbsp instant coffee powder ( mix with 1 tbsp hot water)

- 12 ounce plain flour 

- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

- 6 ounce roasted walnuts (chopped)

- 8 ounce chocolate chunks or chips ( semi sweet, bitter sweet or dark) I used dark 

- Extra chocolates chunks for topping

- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling ( optinal)


METHOD

- Pre heat oven to 170c

- Whisk together flour and cocoa powder. Set aside.




- In a mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar. Using a wooden spoon stir to combine until smooth and a bit fluffy.









- Whisk in egg yolks, vanilla essence and coffee mixture. Mix until well combined.









- Stir in dry ingrediants until they are combined. Fold in chocolate chunks and chopped walnuts. 









- Drop a teaspoon of the dough on a baking pan. ( It don't have to be a perfect shape) and gently press 3-4 pieces of chopped chocolate chunks into the tops of each cookies.






- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until the tops are just set. These cookies may look slightly under baked, they'll keep baking on the pan as they cool. Keep your eyes on them, every oven is different so just be cautious with your first batch.

-Once out from the oven, sprinkle some sea salt if desired.

- Let the cookies to sit on the baking pan for 2 -3 minutes before removing to the cooking rack to cool completely.

- Store in a air tight container at room temperature.

       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.

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
