I had this once at a restaurant in mumbai and was hooked and I so badly wanted to make one myself. But I thought it was hard to do this at home. Thanks to google I came to know it was so very easy. All I needed was a sizzler plate(got it online) and a batch of brownies & voilà. Now you can also wow your guests with this simple dessert. You can also make fish, chicken and vegetable sizzlers aswell, you don't have to go to a restaurant to have a sizzler.
