Chocolate Brownie

Writing this post from Ammu's (sis n law) place @ San Antonio. I made these brownies for her. :)

Ammu is an awesome cook and has a lot of specialty dishes on her plate. My personal favorite is "Mambazha Kootan" or "Ripe Mango Curry". Every time she prepares "Mambazha Kootan", I make sure that nothing is left out! :D

This time I wanted to make a sweet dish. And decided on brownies. As I was hopping from one blog to another, I came across Deb's Smitten Kitchen. Deb has an awesome collection of brownies, cakes and lot more. I wanted a simple brownie and  hence made a few changes to the ingredient list. Moreover, I had to make this quick. That means less time to play around with new techniques! :(  Next time. :)

Thank you, Deb.

  • After the set time, take the dish out of the oven and allow it to cool.
