WorldOnAPlate – MasterChefCooking – George Colambaris

Standard

The most precious, memorable, happiest, luckiest moment to me recently was attending the Master Chef Cooking Class by Australian Master Chef George Colambaris which was held at the International Food Carnival – WorldOnAPlate, sponsored by Godrej’s Cuisine Regale at JW Marriott.

Got an invite for MasterChef Cooking class held at JW Marriott sponsored by Godrej’s Cuisine Regale on 4th June (last Saturday), Bangalore. I was much excited and eagerly waiting for the clock to ring 3, as the class was from 3 p.m to 4 p.m. Imagining the horrible Bangalore traffic in mind, I hurried up around 1 p.m from my home to JW Marriott and reached there around 2:30 p.m.

JW Marriott was under tight security and banners all over the roads. There was no limits to my happiness, got the pass in the reception and rushed to the class. I was waiting for few minutes and happened to meet few of blogger friends, we were much excited for the class.

We had a great experience in the class. He prepared “Soft Shell Crab Souvlaki” which was wrapped in kerala paratha. It was heavenly and I liked it to the core. Blessed and Happy me.

Finally we also had a photo session, all of us got a chance to click a picture with the Australian Master Chef – George Colambaris.

About the event

And now here is my entry – Muddy Custard with Britannia Chunkies

The Britannia Good Day Chunkies  is truly unlike any other cookie I have eaten.They are big crumbly cookies loaded with chocolate chips that just melt in my mouth-absolutely delicious!

And so keeping the texture of this Britannia Chunkies in my mind, thought of preparing something related to the term Muddy. As I like custard to the core, thought why not a chunkie custard, which would be a unique, yummy, delicious and heavenly dessert prepared with just two ingredients. This is how my Muddy Custard with Britannia Chunkies came to existence. #ChefsWithChunkies.

 

Everyone in our home right from my hubby till my younger one (4 yrs) liked it to the core. The texture was too good with three layers, first one with the crumbles, second one with the original custard, third one with the chunky custard and the fourth one again with the crumbles, topped with pieces of chunkies. Let me share the recipe…

Ingredients:

  • Britannia Good Day Chunkies – 1 pack (100 gm)
  • Home Made Custard – 5 tbsp

Preparation:

  • Blend 3 Britannia chunkies for almost a min (it will turn to a paste). Transfer it to a bowl and keep it aside.
  • In a bowl, take 2 tbsp of custard, add in the chunky paste and mix well (ensure no lumps should be formed). Keep it aside.
  • Now just crumble 2 Britannia chunkies in a blender for just 5 seconds. Transfer it to a bowl and keep it aside.
  • Take a glass or bowl, first layer it with crumbled Britannia chunkies (it should be like a bed).
  • Then gently drop in the plain custard, level it well, for the second layer.
  • Then gently drop in the chunky custard, level it well, for the third layer.
  • Again sprinkle the chunky crumbles, for the fourth layer.
  • Now break another chunky and top it over the chunky layer.
  • Refrigerate for an hour.

Serve chilled.

Note: I have used home made custard, you can also use the store bought one. For home-made Custard recipe, click here.
