If u are weight watcher, then ur dietitian will suggest u to stop eating chocolates. But I came across a show on TV where they said chocolates are good for health.. Haan, strange na!! YES.. Dark Chocolate is healthy compared to normal chocolates. Darker d color of the chocolate, less in the amount of sugar in it. It will actually be less sweet and bitter in taste.

Homemade Dark Chocolate

Yield: makes 12 chocolates
Author: Namitha Shenoy
Prep time: 1 MCook time: 30 MTotal time: 31 M
tempering of compound dark chocolate and moulding them

Ingredients:

  • Dark Compound - 125 gms (I used Morde)

Instructions:

  1. Roughly chop the dark compound and transfer it to a deep microwave safe bowl.
  2. Defrost for a minute in microwave. Mix well to check if chocolate is melted. If not defrost in microwave for 30 seconds. (You can also use Double Boiler method to melt the chocolate if you don't have microwave.)
  3. Now pour the melted chocolate into the moulds and allow it to set in refrigerator for 30 mins.
  4. De-mould and wrap in a chocolate wrapper. Dark Chocolate is ready

Notes:

Make sure your bowl, spoon and moulds are free from moisture. Even a single drop of water or moisture, the chocolate gets seized and you wont get the smooth texture. Even overheating makes the chocolates dry.

Chicken Uruval or Urval is a famous and delicious Mangalorean dish. It is very simple to prepare, yet very rich in taste. It is a spicy, tangy and very flavorful dish mostly served as an appetizer. This dish has very less ingredients. The main taste of this dish is from the masala paste prepared using red chillies, cashewnuts and few whole spices. Paste should be fried properly in butter. I just marinated the chicken and cooked with the paste. But in restaurants they deep fry the chicken pieces.
