chocolate brownie

this is a recipe inspired from one of the blogs, i stumbled upon searching for a brownie recipe, It sounded simple and assured good results and hence i went ahead with it.. so here is the recipe with a lil bit of improvisations from my end


1/2 cup ghee (or melted butter, i mix some vegetable oil with ghee..)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup maida (all purpose flour)
1/4 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
some almonds, walnuts chopped

Preheat oven to 350F / 180. Grease and dust some flour on the pan you would use. I use the aluminium fil wrap when i bake it in glass dish,since metal is supposed to work better and faster in oven. Mix ghee+oil, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one by one and mix well after each addition. Add the cocoa powder mix thoroughly.Lastly add the flour, baking powder and salt mix very well. Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until done.



Let it cool completely and you may add frosting if you wish. I was happy with enough chocolate in it and so i dint :)
