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...

Turkish Coffee

Turkish Coffee

 Turkish coffee is more of a brewing method than anything else. In theory any coffee will work for Turkish coffee, but the best to use is very finely ground (think espresso) Arabica beans.

It’s coffee made with a small amount of water and a high amount of coffee, par-boiled for a few seconds, and then left to sit for a couple of minutes before serving.

This is the kind of coffee that is best appreciated by those who are okay with black coffee, since this is a very string coffee, and a little on the thicker side.

It’s got plenty of coffee grounds on the bottom of the cups, and is not usually served with any milk or creamer.

Of course, there are traditions and traditions when it comes to Turkish coffee. It has one such tradition where the coffee is prepared via hot sand, and that’s got to be one of the most charming ways to make coffee.

One of the most important elements of Turkish coffee is the ibric, or small saucepan the coffee is made in.

This is how the ibric got its specific wide, flat bottom, with the outer curve. It’s meant to catch most of the coffee grounds when you’re serving the coffee.

If you have no ibric, the end result will be similar but definitely lacking in authenticity. And you’ll get way more coffee dust at the bottom of your cup.

It’s heavy, thick, stamped copper, which means it will both look beautiful and heat evenly when you set it on the stove.

Never boil the coffee until you’ve got no foam left. That’s not only far from the tradition – which in many cases states the number of bubbles is the number of coins you’ll have in life – but it’s also a sing of burnt coffee.

It will end up tasting too bitter and harsh, even if it is Arabica.

For the best results, stop just as you see the foam starting to rise. Keep stirring the coffee, but stop when you see no more ground coffee in the foam itself. Pour the coffee sideways of the cup so that the foam do not get mixed with water faster and this coffee is served with Turkish SUGAR and WATER. Since the coffee will be strong in flavor. 

Lets cook with step-by-step pictures.

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...
