Fudgy brownies

I remember my BFF taking me to this only brownie joint in Colaba Mumbai & the grey hair graceful lady supervising everything around. The brownies in that place were to die for. Atleast 20 different kinds.. wow that place sure was heaven on earth.Just cant recollect the name of the joint infact the following year when i took my husband along i just couldn't find that place. Made my hubby walk the whole of Colaba Causeway atleast twice.. but no joy !!

For the past two days infact ever since the week has begun, i have been craving those lip smacking brownies and Mumbai in general. So its gonna be a mumbaish day fr me, making pav bhaji(Indian name for the usual bread with mix vegetable stew)  for lunch & the brownies i just baked.


i remember i would visit my BFF at a drop of a hat or atleast call her every time me & my husband would have a tiff over the smallest of things & say Maithili i m coming to colaba I am carrying no money & no clothes & she would say OK just carry an umbrella along its raining heavy in Mumbai, knowing very well that i would make up with my hubby & call in the evening saying that i am not. Wow 5 years back seem so long ago.




 Anyways getting back to my version of fudgy chocolate brownies, infact when i just stared baking any chocolate cake which didn't turn out well  i called it brownies (ignorant that i was) but over the years i have developed my very own recipe. Which is well appreciated by many.
