Another exciting Nutella recipe , these are nutella brownies which might not be as rich and chocolatey as the previous brownie recipe I shared but if you want some quick brownies with limited ingredients then this might do the job.

Servings: 6 brownies
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 20 mins
Total Time 30 mins

Ingredients

1 cup (8oz/240g) Nutella
2 eggs
10 tablespoons gluten free flour

Instructions

Put the Nutella, eggs and flour in a large bowl and mix until all ingredients are combines. The batter should be thick and shiny.

Line a 2 inch deep 8 x 12 in the baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the batter into your tray. Bake at 350F (175C) for 20-25 minutes at a conventional setting in your oven. Monitor the bake if you are using a fan assisted oven, or an OTG. These will bake faster.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully before slicing. Enjoy!

The plastic bag helps protect your gluten free bread, in the freezer, from getting mashed when you’re moving things around. It's is an easy way to store your gluten free bread and can be used at whatever time according to your convenience. You may also store your bread in your own airtight container, whatever works best for you.❤

Gluten and dairy free dahi baray!
This recipe includes yellow lentils (moong ki dal) instead of besan (gram flour)

Recipe for dal ke baray (lentil dumplings):
https://hamariweb.com/recipes/dahi_bhalle_recipe_by_shireen_anwar_rid11045.aspx

Tips for making dairy free yogurt taste like regular:
*Add lemon (lots of it till it is as tangy as regular yogurt)
*Add crushed garlic and blend with yogurt to infuse it completely
*use chat masala and salt sparingly.
Coconut yogurt (plain flavour) by Riviera is a God sent!! Alhumdulillah

I used this recipe but as is I found it very crumbly and extremely difficult to knead into dough balls.
So I added arrowroot starch 1/2-1 cup and voila it was great. I still had to use parchment paper to help roll it flat but it wasn’t crazy difficult.
And yes it has yeast, and eggs and yogurt but I believe a small amount of yeast will do in a big batch. I used dairy free coconut yogurt and for eggs you can try substituting with flax eggs ( texture wise it’ll be the same).
Frying in ghee makes it even more delicious.
Give it try and hope it works for you all.
Slow cook in your stainless steel pans!

Gluten-free Poori! Looks like poori, Tastes like poori, reheats better than poori. Makes all your Chana, halwa poori dreams come true! Alhumdulillah

Same recipe as gluten free samosas (posted earlier with slight variation here- both work equally well) except afterwards you just deep fry it!
2 cups arrowroot flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1 can coconut milk
1/2 packet of coconut cream (the solid kind)
2 eggs
And dairy free milk to thin the liquid if needed.
Salt, cumin powder and black pepper to taste.
I just blend everything together in a spouted flask as it’s easy to pour in the pan. Slightly fry each side and deep fry next.

Since being gluten-free the hardest thing for me to give up was samosas. And voila, my incompetent hands made these delicious gluten-free/paleo samosas from scratch yesterday. Alhamdulilah. Thanks to HolisticMom, MD for the fantastic recipe!

Gluten free samosas! Just saw the video but I’m going to try it very soon.
She was cooking for 15 people so she had doubled the recipe.
4 cups arrowroot
1 cup almond flour
4 eggs
1 can of coconut cream
And a bit of almond milk
Please correct me if I’m wrong if you hear differently in the video. She says the recipe around 18 min mark.
Good luck and may Allah bless us with great gluten free samosas very very soon 😋
