Dear Aarthi,
Please update with some Microwave cakes / cookies / Puffs.
The brownie looks yum. Simply delicious. Can you say where did you purchase in Nagercoil, the spatula you used for mixing the batter? Thanks.

Hello i tried these above brownies bt oil nd sugar didn't mixed,they remained seperate nd adding coco nd flour is whn the pan is on stove??kindly explain as my brownies are brokn altogether.
@Anonymousyou should warm the oil then add sugar to it and mix till it is lightly melted. Now take it off the heat and add cocoa and flour. The oil mix should be warm when you add the other stuffs
Any other substitute for eggs…….as im a pure veggie…..

Hi i tried these brownies. They turned out to be really yummy but one thing i wanted to ask that you've used 1cup of oil in this recipe and when i ate my brownies lot of oil was left behind in the plate and was oozing out from the brownies. Is there any means by which one can add less oil to them??
@Anisha SharmaMine didn't turn out like that..I think u have cooked it longer..If u feel there is oil, then u can reduce it by 3/4 cup
