Guava Muffins - Indian Curry Trail

Ask my husband, he tells you how much I love baking, especially baking cupcakes and muffins. Unlike cake baking, cupcake takes ~15 minutes to set which is an another reason for my love. Recent days, I have been baking many flavored cupcakes and muffins and I am doing my experiments with multiple handy ingredients. I have also taken picture of few and I will be posting here now and then based on my available time.

I used store bought guava juice here, you can either prepare it at home or go with store bought one. Also, at last I added finely chopped guava(without seeds) for extra guava flavor.
