Lost in Brownie Bliss!

You're lost in the woods somewhere and walking along for hours by the dim light from the setting sun. You walk alongside the trees hoping to find a way amidst them. There seems no hope at all, and honestly after a point in time, you're craving brownies! Gooey, chocolate, millionaire brownies! What the hell?! Cravings don't really have a time and place and that's why they appear out of nowhere finding a place in the pit of your stomach!
You're busy trying to get signal on your phone to reach out to somebody for help, but all in vain! Your finger accidentally touches the browser window and voila, there's a recipe on my blog for brownies opened up right there! Oh c'mon! Temptations in the middle of the forest is so unfair! (Mental note to self: Make them as soon as you reach home!) So without further ado, let's put you'll out of the misery of knowing this wonderful recipe and seeing the pictures to put a face to it all!

Gooey Millionaire Crusty Brownies

The secret to keeping them gooey and moist as well as crusty from the sides is to bake them at a high temperature but pulling it out a little early to retain the moistness!

Glorious Ingredients:
  • 250g dark cooking chocolate
  • 200g yellow butter
  • 200g caster sugar (use less if you prefer the brownie to be less sweeter)
  • 3 eggs
  • 200g self-raising flour
Topping Ingredients:
  • 200g chocolate (dark+milk)
  • tin of caramel (recipe below)

Simple Method:

Start by melting the cooking chocolate in a heavy bottomed saucepan, while mixing it continuously so that it doesn't touch the bottom.

After it's melted stir in sugar and beaten eggs.  

Slowly add in the flour and stir to incorporate. 

Then pour it onto a greased pan as below and it is ready to be popped into the oven!



All layered to be popped into the oven!
Oh, whatte beauty!
For the topping: melt the 200g of mixed chocolate in another saucepan and keep aside. Splatter it onto the brownie as shown below.
To make home-made caramel: Immerse a closed tin of Milkmaid in boiling water and make sure the water level is way above the tin. Let this boil for about 2-3 hours making sure you don't let the water level drop below the tin level. open when cooled and voila! Your home made caramel is ready! 


Ready to be splattered!

Namma Metro in Bengaluru!

After many months of, well, struggling rather hard at my workplace and thus not giving enough time to my blog, I now find myself in the land of gardens and now the land of Namma Metro! Only months after it began I consider myself among the lucky 10,000 to experience the much awaited Metro ride in Bangalore. And it was definitely worth the wait! So, how was it all? Smooth as hell! As of now, the Metro operates only in seven stations- from M.G. road to Byanapalli and it takes just about 15 minutes and costs just Rs.15! With sparkling clean interiors that is comfortably air-conditioned, there is adequate space to sit and stand. There are even small TV screens displaying educational content, while the male and female announcers are continuously announcing either the station names or regular instructions. To maintain this level of cleanliness, no food or drink is allowed anywhere on the Metro or any of the stations. Without further ado, let's bring out the visuals!! First view ...

To Town and Back...!

"What's wrong," she asked. I looked at her curiously and said, "Absolutely nothing! Why would there be something wrong on a day like this?" Confused? I am talking about the stunning weather that Bombay is experiencing this very minute! Light blue clouds and windy skies; can it get any better? While I was lying around on the ' katta' just staring into nothingness, my sister seemed to have got a little worried about my condition! Our morning started early, giving us more hours in this day. We stepped out of home at 7 only to drive to town and meet a certain gentleman at the Taj. Following which our hungry tummies were satisfied by a scrumptious breakfast at Cafe Mondegar! Bacon, eggs, sausages...the works! We even had a group of Harley hurlers give us company at breakfast, only to ride off into the sunset?! No wait, that is a completely wrong image! It's more like them to snarl off into the busy, robust streets of Mumbai and then onto some wide hi...
