Here is a recipe to fulfil all your chocolate cravings during the lock down. It’s super easy, uses basic ingredients and absolutely delicious! Even your kids can attempt making it. If you don’t have cocoa powder simply skip it. If you don’t have dark chocolate, use milk chocolate. And you can increase the flour: fat ratio, omit or increase the baking powder to achieve different texture and goodness with each experiment. Feel free to play around with the recipe. Hope you enjoy it!

Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees.
Line an 8-inch pan with parchment paper as shown in live session video.
Sift together in a bowl, all the dry ingredients – flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. In case using chocolate chips/nuts/berries, add now and mix well. Keep aside.
Melt butter for 40-45 seconds in the microwave. Add the chopped chocolate to it and keep stirring until the chocolate melts. In needed heat the mixture again for few seconds till chocolate has completely melted. Set aside to cool.
Now whisk the hung curd and sugar for 3-4 minutes. Add vanilla essence if using.
Add the melted chocolate and butter (once slightly cool) to the curd and sugar bowl. Mix well.
Add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet bowl and gently combine.
Once you don’t see any dry bits or big lumps, you can go ahead with the next step.
Transfer the mixture into the tin.
Bake in the centre rack of the oven for 20-22 minutes or till the skewer poked into the centre of the cake comes out slightly sticky.
Remove the brownie and let it cool completely.
Then transfer the brownie along with the tin into the refrigerator. Let it set for 60 minutes.
Remove and cut squares and plate us to serve with ice-cream or chocolate sauce or whipped cream!
It tastes awesome with a glass of cold milk or hot coffee too!
