HOME MADE CHOCOLATES / CHOCOLATES WITH MILK POWDER / KIDS DELIGHT


Hi Everyone,
CHOCOLATES !!! Right from kids to grown ups everyone is in love with chocolates for all seasons!!
That’s too home made chocolates are special to everyone due to its freshness and softness and especially the right amount of sweetness makes it so special and also a bit of costly :(.

If you could make that chocoaltes in home by yourself then how joy it will be!! Amazing know ,Then don’t wait just try it in home.

All you need to buy is Cocoa powde and milk powder then rest of the ingredients are from you pantry.

Pls bear with my chocolate shapes as I just used knifes to cut.

The recipe is as below,

SERVINGS : Yields about 20 toffee sized chocolates.

INGREDIENTS :
Cocoa powder                    –  1/2 cup
Milk powder                        –   3/4 cup
Sugar                                  –   1/4 cup
Dry fruits of your choice      –   4 tsp ( I added cashew , Badam and raisins ( dry grapes))
Butter                                  –    5 tsp ( less than ¼ cup).
Water                                   –   3/4 cup.


PREPARATION :
1)      Add cocoa powder and milk powder in a bowl and mix without any lumps.

3)      In a pan add sugar and water and boil it in high flame till the sugar melts , once sugar melts sim down the heat and boil till the sugar syrup reaches one string consistency and switchoff.
4)      Add the butter to sugar syrup and mix well till it melts .

5)      Now add the cocoa , milk powder mix batch by batch  and mix well to make sure that no lumps are formed .And add your chopped nuts and mix well.

MIX WELL


MIX TILL THIS CONSISTENCY

6)      When completely mixed pour the mixture into chocolate molds or greased pan and let it cool down to room temperature for half ah hour.

POUR IT IN REQUIRED MOLD

7)      Then  refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours till set .
8)      Once done remove from chocolate mold or if it is in tray cut to required size pieces and enjoy.

NOTES :
1 ) The more you boil your sugar syrup the chocolates will become hard , I need chocolate to be very soft so I added the powders as soon as my sugar syrup reached one string consistency. If you need chocolates to be little more harder you can boil sugar syrup for one more minute.
2) But don’t boil too much then your chocolates will turn into rock after cooling J.So take care in consistency.

3) This is my first try for chocolates and I don’t have chocolate moulds so I just used a serving plate and sliced and chocolates so the shapes may not proper , pls bear with shapes.

4) If you are not sure about sugar syrup consistency pls mention it in the comment box , I will click a photograph of it and update in blog. 

HAPPY BLOGGING!!!

    1. two reasons ..1) Sugar syrub may be too thin , may be you have not boiled to right consistency.
      2) try to reduce butter quantity and try again..As of now freeze it for a day and see.

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
