Whole Wheat brownies / No maida / No white sugar / One bowl brownie recipe

This brownie recipe is a bakers chocolate one bowl recipe. I have used unsweetened chocolate i.e., dark chocolate for this brownie. It can be prepared with cocoa powder too. This recipe uses eggs. 

Here is the step by step pictures to how I prepared it:

1. In a mixing bowl, place the cut chocolate pieces. Add butter to it. Microwave for 2 mins in 1 min intervals.

2. Remove from the microwave. Mix well. If there is still lumps, microwave again. Add Cane sugar to this hot mixture and wait till it dissolves into it.

3. Now add eggs and mix well.

4. Add in flour. Mix gently so that it is nicely incorporated into the mixture. Add in salt and vanilla extract and mix well ( not shown in pic).  Pour the batter into the prepared pan and garnish with pecans intervals. Bake for 30-35 mins.

5. If toothpick comes clean, remove and let it cool completely.

Pasta sauce can be easily prepared at home. It can be easily prepared at home with very simple ingredients. Here I have used Instant pot for making this sauce. This can be done in stove top too by following the same steps.

How to prepare:

1. Turn ON instant pot. Press SAUTE. Wait until it is hot. Cut everything to cubes. We are going to blend it. So shape doesn't matters.
2. Add 3 tbsp olive oil, garlic, onions.

3. Add jalapenos, red capsicum and beetroot. 

4. Add tomatoes, salt, and pepper powder. 

5. Add basil leaves, oregano. Mix it. Press CANCEL. Set PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL for 10 minutes.

6. Wait for natural pressure release(NPR). Open the instant pot and blend well using a hand blender such that there are no chunks. Press SAUTE again to simmer until thickened and it is not watery. It took 13 minutes for me to reduce and become thick

7. Cool and transfer to an airtight container. Keep it in fridge for further use.
