Mrs. Roshini Mathan

Ingredients:

Dark Chocolate (or Compound) - 185 gm

Butter - 150 gm

Powdered Brown Sugar - 275 gm

Eggs - 3

Flour - 85 gm

Cocoa Powder - 40 gm

Cashews/Almonds/Walnuts (chopped) - 1/2 cup

White Chocolate Chips - 50 gm

Milk Chocolate Chips - 50 gm

Baking Powder - 2 pinches

Baking Soda - 1 pinch

Salt - 1 pinch

Procedure:

1.  Double boil the butter and dark chocolate until the chocolate melts completely.  Allow to cool.

2.  Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C for 10 minutes.

3.  Grease a baking tin and line the base and sides with butter/parchment paper with extra hangover on the sides so that it can be pulled off easily after baking.

4.  Sieve together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

5.  Whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy.

6.  Pour the cooled chocolate mixture and gently fold it.

7.  Add the sifted flour little by little and fold gently until incorporated well.

8.  Lastly stir in the chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, and milk or dark chocolate chips.

9.  Pour the batter to the greased and lined baking tin and spread the batter into the corners and gently level it.

10.  Bake at 180 degrees C for 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean (i.e. with some dried lumps).

11.  Remove and cool on a wire rack for 10 to 20 minutes.

 

12.  Pull out the hanging over butter paper for easy removal of the brownie from the tin.

13.  Cut into equal squares and allow to completely cool down.

14.  Store in containers until use.

15.  Soft, gooey triple chocolate brownies are best relished with homemade icecreams.  Slightly warm the brownie and serve icecream on top.  Serve immediately.

Notes:

I used an 8 inch square baking tin plus a 4 inch round tin to bake.  Acquired a thick brownie with soft base and crunchy top.  Got 9 pieces from the square tin and one small round brownie.

I used palm sugar 150 gm and 100 gm of powdered sugar as only these were available with me at the time of baking this recipe.  I was in a hurry to do it for a bake sale and just couldn't take pics of them.  Next time for sure.

Using baking powder, baking soda, and salt is optional.  The original recipe did not use them.
