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

Seepu Seedai | Krishna Jayanthi Recipe

Seepu Seedai | Krishna Jayanthi Recipe



Seepu Seedai is a Chettinad Special murukku also called as Seepu Murukku. The ingredient that makes this different is the coconut milk is added.

This deep fried snack is also made on a special acchu or press, however you can make this with a comb as the snack name says. Seepu means Comb in tamil and when the mold is not handy, a comb is used. It goes without saying that a new comb is used!
The taste was very good and even the barely there meeting shape, the snack got over.
I have coated this seedai with powdered sugar, for krishna jayananthi. 

I really like the coconut milk flavor in it. Making seepu seedai at home is time consuming and you need little patience to make it. Kids will surely enjoy this snack by wearing them on their fingers before they munch it.

Lets cook with step-by-step pictures.

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.

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.
