Yummy Brownies - Non-Dairy

Finally I managed to bake some very yummy, very gooey and very fudgy non-dairy brownies. I'm thrilled that they've turned out really nice this time. Will do another batch soon.

Quick Recipe

Dry Ingredients -
2 cups Aashirvaad whole wheat atta
2 cups white sugar (if you want it really sweet)
1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips (optional - I did not use it in my recipe though)

Wet Ingredients -
1 cup water
1 scant cup canola oil (or 1/2 Oil 1/2 Soya Milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Preheat the oven to 175 deg C for 10 minutes. Meanwhile mix all the dry ingredients together and mix the wet ingredients together. Add the wet mixture to the dry and blend well. Grease a baking tray with canola oil and spread out the dough on the tray and bake it for 25 to 30 mins (recommended time. I however baked it for 40 mins). More importantly bake it till the top is no longer too shiny. Allow it to cool for a while before cutting it. These brownies don't last for too long, so I recommend keeping them in the fridge, the taste great cold as well. I think even better cold! :)

Remembering Daddy on his Birthday.

It is Daddy's birthday today. Had he been here, he would have turned 62 today.

I loved wishing him on every birthday of his.
I loved the way he smiled when I wished him and how he showed his appreciation with a hug.
I loved the way it would make him happy.
I loved the way he never complained of growing old but proudly owned it.
I loved the way he aged graciously over the years.
I loved the way he managed to stay fit and healthy throughout.
I loved all of that.
I still love all of that now. It still makes me smile when I think of them.

Happy Birthday.
I miss you, Daddy.

An angrezi babu's shot at hindi films

Click here to see this really hilarious video on youtube. I guess the guy's not totally angrezi, his name is Sanjay.
