I have been wanting to prepare this recipe for a very long time. As always preparing cake for me is interesting. A savory cake was quite new to me, as I have never heard of it ( I know don’t hit me guys 😛 ) Getting this to Fiesta Friday #25 . This turned out awesome, just prepared it in the evening for tea time snack. We finished of all the cup cake for dinner now 😀 As making my husband eat dinner is a big deal for me. He is too health conscious and he eats only fruits for dinner. With these cup cakes, he ate it for dinner Yay!!!
This is a very simple savory cake, just made cup cakes out of it. I hope you guys enjoy this 🙂

Ya enjoy dear:) I know one week in GM diet. Today I was telling about your GM diet to hubby. He was telling I can’t do, yes its difficult for me without rice. Infact I have also used carrot and peas. Instead of cabbage I used corn and used baking powder. I showed your post and he is asking whether we both planned and prepared 🙂

Woah Malar, this looks delicious….I had tried savoury cupcake using whole wheat and your version looks interesting….I know when on diet it tough to manage and as per my experience while we are on diet don’t feel like cooking as it might divert as per my view ….so after GM diet your back with yum yum dishes. …g8 dear. ….keep rocking. ..

Yes Chitra , true cooking distracts. But the GM diet has now given me a lot of change, I am able to only half cup rice now. I used to eat one cup. You won’t believe for one cup of tea, I will usually put 2 teaspoons of sugar now I am drinking tea without sugar. I really feel good 🙂 Thanks Chitra do try it 🙂

Hello Ruchi, for muffins batter should not be watery at all… Go ahead with 3/4 cup water. Also as soon as you mix you have to bake to get the correct consistency….
