Carrot Cupcakes

 Carrot   Cupcakes Everyone seems to love Carrot Cake,  what I also like about them is how wonderfully moist they are and how flavorful they taste. I love this Carrot Cupcake recipe because it's so easy to make. No mixer is required. The time consuming part is the grating of the fresh carrots. I have included applesauce in the cupcake batter which, along with the oil, makes these cupcakes so moist. But, if you like, you could use an equal amount of grated apple or even crushed pineapple. You can also add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of currants or raisins to the batter. Carrot Cakes became popular with the health food craze of the 1970s. There are many theories on the origin of this cake, some say it descended from the English's baked carrot puddings or European steamed carrot puddings. Others say it may have come from German carrot breads. Carrots were used in European sweet cakes since the Middle Ages when other sweeteners were hard to find or just too expensive. In fact, carr...

Iced Pomegranate Tea

Iced Pomegranate Tea



 The pink in our drink comes from the real flavors inside: light and refreshing pomegranate tea, blended with honey and iced lemon. 

Pomegranate tea is a specialty tea that is brewed either with crushed pomegranate seeds, dried pomegranate flowers, or simply by adding some concentrated pomegranate juice to a regular cup of tea, such as white tea, green tea or herbal tea. Pomegranate tea has been prepared in some form for thousands of years since pomegranates are storehouses of nutrients and antioxidants. They also can add a sweet bite to many different food recipes and at-home remedies. There is a long list of health benefits associated with pomegranate green tea.

Matta Broken Rice Kanji (Chemba Rice) - RICE PORRIDGE FOR 8-9 months babies (diet food for elders)

Matta Broken Rice Kanji (Chemba Rice) - RICE PORRIDGE FOR 8-9 months babies (diet food for elders)                       Kanji is basically a rice soup. It is so comforting to eat on a rainy or a cold day. My mom used to make it for dinners atleast couple of times a month. Not to forget how comforting it is to have it to have it when you are sick with fever or cold. It is usually made with a type of rice commonly eaten in Kerala called the Chemba Rice (Matta Rice). It has a red hue to it with small red lines. I think Kanji used to be more of a poor man's staple, but these days all Star Hotels serve them as a delicacy. Though Kanji tastes great on its own, there are a lot of typical items that go with it. Green Moong is one of them. Some people cook the moong along with the rice. I like it separate. Other things are coconut, pickle (typically mango or lime) and pappadad are best side dish. We can start giving thi...
