hey
where do u get chocolate chips from i stay in Bangalore and still dont now were to find them??
i would love to now which brand cream do you use..??
@affectionz I buy chocolate chips online from a wholesale vendor..I am not where it will be available in bangalore.
I always use amul fresh cream for recipes like this and curries..When it come to baking, i mostly use whipping cream powder, which i buy from the same vendor.
Can we use dark chocolate compound instead of chocolate chips?
@AnonymousCompound chocolate wont taste good in this, you have to use best dark chocolate for this. You can even try bournville.
Hi aarthi,
I follow all your recipes. I love them. Your pics help us a lot. I have stopped even looking at other sites.
Please tell me some recipes using chocolate syrup. Can we use syrup instead of cocoa powder?
@AnonymousYes u can i hope.but taste will vary
