Mumbai, March 21 Actress Sameera Reddy urged everyone to "indulge" in her healthy yet delicious Lauki (bottle gourd) brownies.
Sameera, who regularly shares healthy and delicious recipes that are also pleasing to the taste buds, revealed the ingredients needed for these brownies in the caption.
She wrote, "Ingredients:
• 1 cup grated lauki (lightly squeezed, not dry)
• 1 cup Maida or (I used oat flour)
• 3/4 cup powdered jaggery (adjust more or less to your taste)
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup milk plus 1/4 oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 2-3 tbsp chocolate chips (sic)".
To make these brownies, one needs to grate the lauki and lightly squeeze out the excess water so that they are soft and moist.
Next, add some jaggery, peanut butter, milk, oil, and vanilla to the grated lauki and prepare a mixture.
After that, add some oat flour/maida, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the mixture and mix it all again.
Finally, stir in some chocolate chips. However, don't forget to save some for the top.
Next, pour the mixture into a greased/parchment paper tray and bake at 180°C for around 25 to 30 minutes or until they are fully cooked.
Let the brownies cool slightly before cutting them into equal-sized pieces.
In December, Sameera shared the recipe for her banana stem and lentil curry, which, according to her, is extremely beneficial for digestion, supports hormonal balance, helps reduce bloating and water retention, aids in weight management, supports menstrual health, helps regulate blood sugar, and also promotes a calm mood and good digestion.
