Chocolate and Carrot Brownie
by Tarla Dalal
An interesting variant of the regular chocolate brownie, this mouth-watering Chocolate and Carrot Brownie has a rustic texture and satiating flavour that you will fall in love with. Grated carrot adds a lovely shade and a grainy mouth-feel to this brownie, which otherwise features all the regular brownie add-ons like walnuts and raisins too. One thing to be aware of is that these brownies, made in the microwave, tend to lose some of their softness over time. So, either serve immediately, or store in an airtight container and serve later with a topping of vanilla ice-cream to improve the moistness.
