Method
Method
Mix the two flours
Add the dry ingredients and mix well
Whisk an egg
Add butter and pumpkin puree and mix well
Add jiggery and whisk
Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix
Top with chocolate chips
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees C for about 20 mins
Cool in the oven
Serve warm with a cup of coffee
Note: Unlike the usual brownie batter which is slightly thick unlike cake batter, this one has to be slightly flowing like cake batter. Reason, both the flours are fibre rich so soak up more moisture. If the brownie turns out slightly dry, turn it upside down on cooling. Make few holes throughout and pour jaggery sauce all over the top. Let it soak in the sauce before slicing carefully.
Jaggery Sauce - Melt 2 tbsp butter. Add 1 tbsp butter and mix on slow heat. Add 2 tsp water and mix well for a few minutes to thicken it slightly.
