Quick Chocolate Making

Hi Guys, its been a little while I wrote any new recipe and the year is already rolling out. Also we have come to the best part of the year too. It's Christmas folks and Jesus is the reason of this season. Anyways, I have come with a recipe of a world best food, which every people whether young or old cherish it in same. It's Chocolate!... hey, its very easy to make see how....

You can make around 200 pcs of the chocolate as shown in the picture. Great gift for Christmas too.

Generally you get bars of 500 gms of raw chocolate in bigger super markets or cake n bake raw material shops. In Hyderabad you will get it in general bazaar.

Ingredients

500gms of Dark Compound

1500gms of Milk Compound

A packet of rice flakes

A packet of butterscotch nuts

Essence - Peppermint, Butterscotch, Almond, Orange

Chocolate wrapping paper to wrap and keep

Method

It’s very easy. The measurement of Dark Compound to Milk Compound is roughly 1-to 1.25-unit portion of Dark Compound to 3 same unit portion of Milk Compound.

Here we are mixing all the 500 gms of Dark compound to 1500 gms of Milk compound.

Break and place them in a bigger bowl. The you need to keep in the micro oven for around 2 to 4 mins and then take it out and mix. It’s a process of melting and mixing the 2 compounds. If you don't have a micro oven, then you can place a bigger bowl with water in it and place another bowl where you keep the chocolate and stir to melt it.

You never directly melt chocolate over fire.

So once melted, you can separate various portions of the melted chocolate in different bowls and but 1 drops of different essence. Add the rice flakes and butter scotch... or you can also add nuts, almonds raisins.... just let you imagination go wild and make your own tastes.

One its done place the mix in various moulds, you will get various shaped chocolate moulds in shops.

Keep them in the deep freezer for 15mins and take it out from the moulds. It should come out fall like ice cubes. Now wrap them in the chocolate wrapping paper and store it.

Olalla.... you just made wonderful chocolate.

A Quick Brownie

Chocolate Brownie

Recently one of our friend came home over for some dinner. She made some quick desert, a home made brownie. It was very quick, so thought of sharing it with you all. Also the best part of this cake is it is completely made of vegetable oil and no butter.

Eggs 4nos

Castor Sugar - 2 cups (or you can also use brown sugar which will give it a sticky texture)

Vegetable Oil - 2 cups

Flour - 1 and half cup

Cocoa powder - 1 cup

Walnut - 50gms crushed into small pieces

Method

Before you start the process of mixing the ingredients, you can keep the oven at 180 degrees for pre-heating.

First mix the 4 eggs and 2 cups sugar. Nicely beat them for 3-4mins, then add 2 cups of vegetable oil and beat it again for another 3-4mins.

Add 1 and a half cup of flour and 1 cup cocoa and a teaspoon of baking powder. Again mix them nicely for 3-4mins.

Herbed Baked Chicken

Many a times you might have thought of making a whole baked chicken and must have backed out with the thought of the complexity of making it. But believe me it is one of the most easiest dishes and the most eye googling dish you would ever make and get the best of appreciation of the people you treat it with. There are various ways of making it, but I am using a simplest of the herb chicken. All these herbs which may sound western will be found in any super markets with a cost ranging from Rs50 to Rs 80 a bottle which will last a long.

Herbed Baked Chicken

Ingredients

Whole Chicken with skin - 1.5kgs

Garlic - 3 tablespoon

Pepper - 2 tablespoon

Dry Rosemary - 2 1/2 tablespoon

Dry Thyme - 1 1/2 tablespoon

Oregano - 1 tablespoon

Chilli Flakes - 2 1/2 tablespoon

Butter - 100gms

Oil - 2-3 tablespoon

Indian Garam Masala - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Salt to taste

Method

Wash and towel dry the chicken. Place it in a marinating bowl. The method of marinating the chicken is kind of giving a message to the chicken, and do it well all across and even inside the chicken too.

So first nicely message it with garlic paste and pepper. Then as you message keep all the other ingredients onto the chicken till everything is evenly spread on it. This process should take you around 5 - 8 mins.

Now, pour 50gms soft butter and 1 tablespoon oil on the chicken and message it again. Remember the spices should stick to the body of the chicken.

Keep this marinated chicken in the fridge for about 3 - 4 hrs.

Now pre-heat the oven for 5mins and bring the chicken out of the fridge and place another 1-2 tablespoon of oil and another 50gms of butter and rub it lightly on the body of the chicken.

Now, Bake it at 210 degrees centigrade for 25mins on one side and another 25 mins on the other side.

Yummy! your fantastic mouth watering and picturesque herbed baked chicken is ready to melt in your mouth.
