Ooey Gooey Brookies

So brookies are the in thing these days....so many pictures and recipes of brookies coming across, and that made me tempted to try them, I mean who would not get tempted to try this sinful mesh-up of fudgy brownies and crunchy cookies. Isn't it always better to double the fun in a single recipe, who likes to settle for one when you can get two-three or may be four ;) in a single dessert...The more...the merrier :)

Soya chaap tikka

Spicy, tangy 'soya chaap tikka' which is favourite street food of "SAADI DILLI".

A Vegetarian alternative for chicken tikka, these 'chaaps' have a chewy and meaty texture. High in protein these 'soya chaaps sticks' are readily available in supermarkets in dry or frozen form.
