Mandi and Madhbi are traditional Arabian rice dishes slow cooked with meat. I have often seen restaurant boards selling Mandi in some parts of Dubai. Although I was always curious to taste it I never got around to doing it until at a weekend outing at Lamcy Plaza’s food court where I saw Mandilicious. Surprised I […]
It’s the season of Lent and I am off meat and desperately trying (but failing miserably) to cure my sweet tooth. Rich, silky, nutty, soft and flavoured — chocolate is a passion. A decade ago French actress Juliette Binoche brought alive the dark delights of chocolate in the movie Chocolat. It was again during lent […]
The Rain Gods have been very kind with the intermittent showers (so uncommon in Dubai) making April evenings pleasant and breezy. Add to this weather some free entertainment and some scenic views — voila it turns into a perfect family day out. Thanks to the annual Dubai Marina Mall Street Festival we enjoyed an evening […]
Mesmerising, spectacular, amazing — you will need to use these adjectives if you plan to view the light installations at the inaugural Dubai Festival of Lights in Downtown. The 10 day festival is on its last leg as it closes tomorrow. Expect to see colourful light installations, a sound and light show across Souk al […]

Last weekend we went for trip to Fujairah and visited the oldest mosque in the UAE. The Al Bidiya mosque is a few kilometres after the Khorfakkan beach located amidst date plantations and old houses. It is said to be 600 years old and officially called Al Masjid Al Othman. It’s quite small but well […]
Versions of the rice pudding can be found in every Indian home. In south India rice cooked with jaggery is called Payasam, in the north rice cooked with lots of milk and sugar is kheer. Festivals, birthdays, feasts at temples and churches — almost every occasion ends with a bowl of this delicious dessert. My […]
On Nov 7th it seemed all roads in Sharjah led to the Expo Centre. We braved traffic enroute and outside the centre only to find a sea of people at each information counters. Two words were clearly audible everywhere ‘Kalam and hall no 5’. And when we finally managed to locate the hall we found […]
The sun is no longer blazing hot. With the November air getting cooler it heralds the beginning of the short winter in UAE. A time when we all head to the many parks with picnic hampers and barbecue sets. It is also the time when several annual cultural events take place across the emirates. Beginning […]
