Things you will need:
4 Tbsp Refined Flour/Maida
2 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
4 Tbsp Powdered Sugar
2 Tbsp Oil/Butter
4 Tbsp + 2 Tbsp Milk (or as required)
1-2 Drops Vanilla Essence (optional)
15gm Milk Chocolate (I used Dairy Milk)
Serving: Single
Steps to Make Authentic Punjabi Sweet Lassi:
1. In a microwave safe mug, add Dairy Milk chocolate. You can use any milk chocolate that is handy.
2. Microwave this for 10 seconds, if using from the fridge directly. Just to make it easier to work with.
3. Once out of microwave, with the help of a spoon, mix it well.
4. Now add in dry ingredients – Flour/Maida, Cocoa Powder, Powdered sugar.
5. Wet Ingredients – Oil &Milk
6. Mix everything really well making sure there no lumps.
7. At this point you might need to add a little bit more milk depending upon the consistency you achieve after mixing. If you feel it’s too dry add in 1-2 Tbsp more milk.
8. Few drops of vanilla essence (optional). Give it a final mix.
9. Microwave it on high power for 1 minute for Dense Chocolate-y Brownie
10. Serve with a dollop of Ice Cream if you have any!
Important Pointers:
· Never use Olive Oil, it has a prominent smell to it & you do not want that over powering the chocolate fragrance.
· If you using Dairy Milk at room temperature, you can skip the melting step in microwave for 10 seconds.
· If melting the chocolate in microwave, make sure you do not overdo it, as milk chocolate can burn quickly.
· For even more chocolate flavour, you can use sweet dark chocolate instead of milk one.
· For dense & fudge-y brownie do not overcook the mixture. Keep an eye on it as it can turn into a cake in seconds.
· If you like your brownies to be more cake-like texture then cook it for 1.5 -2 minutes on high power.
