Kaavee Mural (3)

Hello everyone!

Welcome to "Colors Of Life"

Today am here with ONE more Kaavee art.. and this time its not just a painting..its a real "Mural".
Tried my hand on carving this time..

The ancient Kavee mural method used Snow white lime, obtained by burning seashells, and washed sand from river beds are mixed with jaggery and allowed to ferment for two weeks. The mixture is then hand-pounded to obtain a homogeneous substance, which hardens when applied to the walls...

I have modified the method according to the easily available stuffs now.
I have used a piece of plywood and applied the paste of  POP, Chalk powder,glue and water mixture and carved it with a nice pointer when it was still wet. Then applied acrylic color (bottled) as required. It was not as easy as I had thought. But with lots of interruption from my little daughter it came out pretty well. So today's art is not just mine :) my little princess helped me out while carving as well as painting :D

The white color shows the carved (grooved) area and the red color shows the embossed section.The ancient method of making kaavee mural is totally different from what I have tried today..

Please have a look :)

"Egg-less Brownie"

Hello!!

Welcome to "Colors Of Life"

Today its nothing special for me, but a "Brownie" made it special.. I love baking very much.. even though I don't have an OTG or Convection oven, I always try baking with whatever stuff I have.. I  have turned an old pressure cooker to an OTG ;) yes it works perfect for me.

When somebody visits your home and when you offer them a brownie, most of them ask, "is it a cake!!?" ha ha.. yea it happens because it looks like cake but its NOT!  Brownie has a consistency between a cake and a cookie..lesser calorie when compared to complete dressed cake  ;)

I have baked a "Chocolate Walnut Brownie" today and its EGGLESS!!. My husband's favorite dessert (only if it come out well). A warm brownie with vanilla ice cream tastes heavenly.. For today's brownie my hubby gave me a big thumbs up and that makes a perfect recipe for me..and after baking something perfect I cannot let it finish without capturing it for sure.. So here are the pics of "Chocolate Walnut Brownie" which I have captured through my lens..

I have referred "Rak's Kitchen" for the recipe in which she said she has referred "Gayatri's cook spot". Gayatri's cook spot is an amazing blog for beginners as well as experts..especially in baking. She has explained everything so well.. I have mentioned the recipe at the end of post .. :)

Please go through all the pics and give your feed back..


















Recipe taken from "Rak's Kitchen"
Recipe:

All purpose flour – 1 cup + (2 tblsp & 2 tsp)

Coco powder unsweetened – 1/3 cup

Sugar – 1 cup (I used 3/4 sugar)

Instant coffee – 1/2 tsp

Baking powder – 1 & 1/4 tsp

Butter – 1/4 cup

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Walnuts chopped - 1/4 cup

Method:

Preheat the oven/pressure cooker for about 10 mins at 180 degree, for cooker medium flame. Keep the baking tin ready by greasing it with oil/ butter and dust with flour. Heat a heavy bottomed pan, mix 2 tbsp+ 2 tsp flour with half cup of water and stir well until it turns to a thick paste. Remove it to another bowl and let it cool.. In the same pan heat butter and melt it. Remove it from flame then add coco powder to it and mix it well. Add coffee and mix it well again. Add sugar to flour paste and mix it well followed by the coco butter mixture mix altogether well. Then to this add flour, baking powder, salt and fold it well. Add walnuts and fold well (toss into some flour before adding). Transfer it to baking tin and bake it for about 25 mins. Until toothpick inserted comes out clean and its done.. Serve hot brownie with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!!

Happy Baking all :)

Hope you all like it.. Thanks so much viewing..
