Like garam masala; make your own, and rub it on chicken, lamb or use to make a Moroccan 'nasi goreng' ;)


We ground some fresh spices and it smelled amazing. Looks like a lot of spices but it blended pretty well and had a mellow balanced flavor (did that make sense?) Skeptical? Try it out and taste for yourself.

Ingredients:
36g (6 tbsp) cocoa powder
120g  (1 cup) flour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
200g (1 cup) sugar
2 eggs
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
160ml (2/3 cup) whole milk
150g (1 stick + 3 tbsp) butter, melted
115g (4 oz) dark chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Into a bowl, sift the cocoa, flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Using a fork or a stand mixer, beat the sugar and eggs in a another bowl. Continue until pale.
3. Add vanilla extract to the sugar and eggs.
4. Into the sugar and eggs, add the flour mixture a little bit at a time alternating flour, then milk, until it starts to come together. Make sure the first and last additions are flour.
5. Stir in the melted butter.
6. Mix in the dark chocolate chips and distribute evenly in the mixture.
7. Add the mixture into a muffin-liner-lined muffin tray and heat in the oven preheated to 350ºC.
8. Bake for about 16 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
