Saffron almond pistachio cupcakes

I had been thinking of baking something for an occasion, and what better occasion than 26 January, 62nd Republic Day of India. So this post is my dedication to the Indian Tri-Color.
Three Distinct Flavors, go really well with the colors for the occasion.
Tri-color is made up of Saffron (denotes strength and courage), White (in the centre is light, the path of truth) & Green (is for growth and auspiciousness of the land).
