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.

Any type of rasam you make has its own speciality and having it gives a soulful satisfaction after a great heavy meal. This is quite a new type of rasam that I am making this time. The recipe was from my friend and its their family recipe. They told that they make this special rasam during viratham time when not using tamarind. Ingredients roasted for rasam powder is something different like we add coconut grated which we will not add it for making rasam. I use garlic in most of my rasam variations but for this its not at all needed. Its a very simple rasam to make with hot rice and a simple papadam will do.
