According to Vinipedia
A chocolaty delight!! That’s a very brief definition. See I am not a chocoholic so words don’t come out very swiftly when I write about some chocolate guy!! Not my kind you see. If you want a good definition read the Wikipedia one!

This recipe was given to me by my dear friend Roshi. All the recipes that have been passed on to me by her are my bookmarked recipes.
1. Pre heat the oven to 180 C (160⁰C in case of fan/convection ovens) and grease and line the baking pan. Prefer a 9”*9” baking pan. I had a smaller one so I have used that, but a bigger pan will do the job better.
2. Collect and weigh all the ingredients.
3. Sieve the dry ingredients i.e. 1 cup maida, 1tsp baking powder and 1 tsp baking soda.
4. Chop the chocolate and melt 1/2 +1/8 cup dark compound chocolate in a microwave (put chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and melt it on high power for 30 seconds and repeat till it melts) or on a double boiler (place a sauce pan on medium flame with water, place a bigger bowl on the sauce pan, such that the bowl doesn’t get in contact with the water. In the bowl put the chopped chocolate and let it melt. Keep stirring.)
5. Once the chocolate has melted, add 3/8 cup of water to it gradually. Mix to incorporate.
6. Make a smooth mixture.
7. In another bowl mix 1/2 cup butter (softened) and 1/2 tin of condensed milk.
8. Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, chocolate and water mixture and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and mix.
9. Add the dry ingredients to the above mixture gradually and mix.
10. Pour it in the prepared baking pan. Pat it twice and level it using a spatula. Bake at 180⁰C (160⁰C in case of fan/convection ovens) for 35-40 minutes or till its done.
11. Once it’s done, take it out of the oven and let it rest.
12. Once it has come to the room temperature, de-mould it.
13. Once it cools, cut into pieces and serve.
