Hi Al – it’s perfectly normal for them to be wobbly in the middle. Brownies are not like cake – they set into a gooey fudge. You just have to leave it to cool and then set in the fridge. Please, please try again. I’ve made these twice and the’re a huge hit at home (and with guests)

Hi Mallika,
You were right. These are sinful! Quick question though. I baked them for 30 mins, however the batter was still wobbly in the middle, so I put it back in for about 10 mins. This made the edges all hard and crumbly and basically inedible. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

Ooh, these look yummy! I’m studying for my doctoral qualifiers these days, so I crave sugar 24×7. I think I know where my next sugar hit is coming from… Thank you, Mallika!

Hi again – Thanks for your response, Mallika. Tried them out promptly last night. My hub unit took some brownies to work this morning and is going to share them with his colleagues. Now this can mean only one thing – that they have turned out pretty good!:-) A thank you is in order for you and I will be trying other recipes on this site for sure.

Hi Kirtee – Great to hear that you found QIC. The recipe calls for ground cardamom seeds. Try them and you won’t be disappointed.

Hi Mallika…Found you and this site accidentally yesterday, but looks like I am going to be totally hooked onto this one! Planning on making these celestial looking brownies soon however I am a little confused. Does this recipe call for ground cardamom seeds or is it the whole pods minus the seeds? Seen as you mentioned using a grinder or mortar and pestle, I am assuming it’s the former.

What a wonderful flavor combination for brownies. After reading your comment on my post, I headed right over here to see the recipe. I love using fresh ground cardamom.
