The 69th Indian Independence Day

-
India is a country full of culture, languages and ingenuity. We are known for being the largest democracy in the world, we are secular, we have a rich and dense history and our food is found in every part of the planet. And I am proud to be an Indian. 

We received independence from the British Raj on August 15, 1947 and today marks the 69th anniversary of a fight that lasted for almost a 150 years. During these years we lost a number of freedom fighters trying to bring us the freedom we have today. 'Shaheed' is what we address and remember our heroes as, so lets take a moment and remember them and the unsung heroes of our freedom struggle.

Happy Independence Day to every Indian all over the world. Jai Hind!

Hair washing and blow drying aren’t the only culprits behind those stray hairs in the sink; breakage can lead to excessive hair loss in damaged hair. The new Syoss Anti-Hair Fall* Fiber Resist 95 range with phyto stem cell extract strengthens and fortifies brittle hair. Hair will then grow long and strong again, boasting its usual natural shine and manageable texture.  The Science The new Syoss Anti-Hair Fall* Fiber Resist 95 strengthens the hair from root to tip. It does this with help from a phyto stem cell extract derived from botanical stem cells, which stimulates the hair’s energy metabolism in the roots where the hair grows. This in turn activates the roots. For best results, use both the shampoo and conditioner. This will lead to 95% less hair loss caused by hair breakage.

Bhindi 'Jaliwi' (Burnt okra)

Bhendi or as some may not it as lady finger or okra is a green veggie that is very common to Indian cooking and there are easily a 100 ways of cooking it. I choose a crowd favourite Crispy fried bhindi. Essentially what you have to do here is 1. fry the bhendi 2. take it out of the oil and season with some amaing Indian spices What I did the first time... Burnt bhindi 1. cut the bhindi into small pieces after washing 2. heated the oil and just dropped in the bhindi  3. I wanted it crispy so I let it cook, just when it turned dark green I went into to catch a glimpse of the tv leaving it on high flame. When I returned the bhendi was pretty charred to perfection. Mistake one - when you add bhindi into the hot oil it bubbles up and lot throwing splatter of hot oil all around. Always keep the flame a bit low and observe extreme caution while putting lady finger or any other moist vegetable in a kadai (shallow pan). Mistake two - the finally cooking stage of the

Food Review - Circle Café

Circle Café has proudly joined the re-invention club and launched a new menu recently and I'm going to give you a low down on how well they scored. Tucked away into the quite Business Bay square in downtown Dubai, Circle Café is a cosy hidden gem. The simple and elegant interiors give a very relaxed home feel which makes the food more enjoyable. Let's get down to business then..First up were the Bagel chips. As the name suggests they were thinly sliced baked Bagel chips served with a Tarama Truffle dip. From the first bite I knew this dish was going to be in my top three for the night. They were so crisp and light that I couldn't stop munching. The zatar type seasoning gave it the perfect amount of subtle flavour. For those with a preference for stronger taste, the dipping sauce gives it a unexpected punch which grows on you with every bite. Next was the Whole Wheat Salmon Pasta followed by the Circle Greek Salad, both of which are healthy options but low on the seas
