BEST BAKING INGREDIENT BRANDS IN INDIA & WHERE TO BUY THEM | HONEST baking brands recommendations

I keep getting questions on which brands do i use for cream, chocolate, cream-cheese, yeast, etc, etc! So here it is- a #DetailedGuide on which baking brands I trust in India and use for all my #Baking and recipes.
I did a video on this topic earlier as well but this is a much longer, detailed video and also includes some new brands and products I've discovered recently.
As mentioned in the video- these recommendations are completely honest and I'm sharing them because I feel it could be useful for people who are not sure about which brands to buy.

i’m not kidding, i use the exact same brands for almost everything 🤩

[@maithiliiyer8303]

Regarding chocolate chips - I often find even the best ones like scharfenberger, don’t melt as well - I simply use a good quality dark chocolate bar and use a good knife to cut it up and create my own chips or chunks

[@sarashah2455]

Chocolate chips are built in a way that they don't melt while baking so the texture maintains

[@savvy25aggarwal]

Getting good chocolate chips is a real struggle here. So I have ended up using chocolate chunks in my cookies and muffins. I absolute love the 55% amul chocolate. I chop it into medium sized chunks and add those to my recipes.

[@NAwal1350]

Omg. Thank you so much. Just moved from abroad and I was lost in terms of the right ingredients to pick for baking and always ended up saying "India doesn't have what I've used" So pumped to try what you've suggested

Chocolate : Van Houten/Van Leer, not as expensive as Callebaut Chocolate Chip : 2m Cocoa Powder : Morde ( Hershey's is too expensive) Cream Cheese : Milky Mist ( especially if in Bangalore) Sugar : Mawana ( Trust is best though) Yeast : Gloripan/ Angel

Morde dark compound chocolate is also amazing

A glass one or metal?...correct me if am wrong..Aluminum, is it not harmful if we use it so often for baking... N wld appreciate if you can suggest me the size of the pan as well.. Thx shivesh..

Shivesh!!!! The amount of thought and effort that you put in bringing the art of baking to every home kitchen is commendable! Way to go, my friend! 🌼

[@bhawnasood1726]

Is it okay to use Amul compound chocolates in baking? They have it in all variants- White, Milk and Dark, however, I’m not sure if that’s the right product to use for cakes, cupcakes etc. Also, which Sundrop oil is it? Is it Sunflower oil that you showed in the video?

[@shailjam2304]

Sour cream should be added to the list .As sour cream can help thicken a cake and will add flavor, moisture, and texture to any kind of cake.

Guys, if you have difficulty finding Brown Sugar, you can use molasses/treacle . Just add 1tbsp to 1 cup of normal granulated sugar for light brown sugar and mix it thoroughly. If you want dark brown sugar use 2tbsps. Molasses is available easily online and it is quite economical , if you use Brown Sugar frequently.

[@shreya528]

I have experimented a lot with baking myself. I can relate to you so much. Through the years after loads of trial and errors and near disasters with my experiments I have learnt a few things myself. This video is extremely relevant for Indian bakers. Very much agree about the Amul dark chocolate and d'lecta cream cheese. I had ordered Philadelphia cheese once and it costs a fortune here. I wish we'd get better baking supplies here like we do abroad. A question for you- I ended up buying the 75 and 90 percent Amul bitter chocolate. It's too bitter. What do you suggest I do with them?

[@helloprofkk]

For food colour I use Pappilon.... For large sized oats I use True Elements.

[@swatijain8768]

Finding whipping cream in my area is a painful task 🥺 so all of my desserts mainly use chocolate frosting. As for the Choco-Chips I always try to make them fresh at home! Thanks for discussing the brands 🎉❤️

You can ask bakery shop nearby they can provide you with the whip cream.

Hi Well in pune we get lot of stuff at quite cheap rates from bakery supplies stores. They r not always from a big brand but quality wise they r good. If everyone use the branded products shown in ur videos m sure only rich ppl will be able to afford them. Cuz in cities like pune where lot of homebakers/bakeries use low quality ingredients n sell it cheap there r hardly ppl who would go for high priced cakes etc. We do get rich, Tropolite, Fiona brands here. Morde, Callebaut n many other brands too. Mawana brand is quite popular for castor n brown sugars.

[@lailarafiq123]

You are right . Only quality matters. Brand does not .25 years ago Amul was a great product. But now its ghee is amix of mostly vegetable oil, shortnening, ( Read Dalda/lard) , some ghee , and essences which gives flavor and smell of the ghee

[@divyabhargava8336]

@@lailarafiq123 thanku. You tubers show case or promote their brands n then on their Instagram they put these stories n tag these brands hoping to get paid promotion or collaboration in future. Mostly these r the tactics they use. First they say its not sponsored n later after few weeks or months u vl see same brands sponsoring them. But now its not that easy to fool the audiences since most of the you tubers reveals their tactics, income, brand promotion incomes etc.
