Indulge in Homemade Brownies

Special Recipe: Brownies are a beloved treat, appealing to all ages. While store-bought options are tempting, they often contain unhealthy additives. Making brownies at home is a healthier and equally delicious alternative.

Contrary to popular belief, preparing brownies at home is straightforward and requires no fancy tools. In this article, we present an easy recipe for delightful homemade brownies.

Ingredients: As per food blogger Chhaya Raghuvanshi, gather the following: 1 cup of dark chocolate, ½ cup of unsalted butter, slightly more than ½ cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, ¾ cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, slightly more than ½ cup of thick yogurt, 1 small cup of chocolate chips (or as desired), and ½ cup of chopped walnuts.

Instructions: Chhaya Raghuvanshi suggests starting by melting the chocolate and butter together in a glass bowl using the double boiler method to prevent burning. Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Stir in the sugar until well combined. Next, add the yogurt and mix until the batter is smooth. Incorporate the vanilla essence for added flavor.

Next, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This step is crucial for achieving a light and fluffy texture. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the chocolate mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough brownies. Once combined, gently fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.

Prepare a heavy-bottomed pan by adding a layer of salt or sand at the bottom to ensure even baking. Place a stand or an inverted bowl on top. Grease your cake tin with butter and pour in the brownie batter. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 40 to 45 minutes, avoiding opening the lid for the first 20 minutes. After the time is up, check with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, your brownies are done. Allow to cool before cutting into squares, and feel free to top with melted chocolate or whipped cream before serving.
