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, carrots, along

New Year Detox Water

New Year Detox Water Cleansing isn’t about depriving your body of food or nutrients — instead, it is a chance to retrain your palate to acquire a taste for whole foods in their natural state. I strongly believe that eating wholesome, cleansing foods in order to bring your body to an alkaline state will balance your body in a way that will be beneficial for your entire life. Approaching a cleanse in a healthy way can help you to re-establish a baseline and allow your cells and organs to function at their optimum potential. Cleansing also helps you introduce healthy, organic, and fresh foods to your diet, giving your digestive system a break while purifying your blood. It is safe to do a one or two day  juice  fast, if you feel up to it, but it is not necessary. Cleansing is about eating fresh whole foods as the basis of all your meals: eating more salads, drinking more  smoothies , and drinking lots of fresh water throughout the day. At the very least, start your day with a gl

Pidi kozhukattai

Pidi kozhukattai Pidi kozhukattai is such an easy and tasty sweet recipe which is usually prepared for Indian festivals. This recipe contains only handful ingredients in its making and can be easily attempted by beginners also. I usually prefer making this pidi kozhukattai over regular ones as this recipe has never failed to be delicious any day. We make sweet pidi kozhukattai very often. It is easy to make when compared to the traditional kozhukattai and can be made in jiffy for evening snacks or even dinner.I just go crazy eating without any counts. As I was not a big fan of jaggery/ sweet versions before, My MIL adds grated coconut, while mom adds coconut bits. I love both. We make this on special days like sangatahara chaturthi or any fridays like aadi velli or Karthigai deepam too. But can be made as snack on regular days. Lets cook with step-by-step pictures.
