                                                            Methi bhaat Recipe

Come winters and I start looking for ways to include methi(fenugreek leaves), spinach  and other green leafy vegetables in my dishes.Spinach rice recipe is some what similar to methi rice only thing is that one has to take care of the bitterness of fenugreek leaves.To remove the bitterness from fenugreek leaves we add chopped tomatoes in it and if still it exists then some lemon juice.

This is in our lunch today as hubby is home and got to make something quick so that I can sit and work here and this was best healthy option available.



Here we go with the Fenugreek rice recipe



Ingredients:

1 chopped onion
2 chopped green chillies
2 chopped tomatoes
1.2 tsp red chilli powder
Salt as per taste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder(haldi)
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp -oil

Method and Preparation:-
Step1- Add oil in a heavy pan and cumin seeds (jeera) when hot.Add chopped green chillies and chopped onion into it and fry till they are lightly brown in colour.

Step2 - Add fenugreek leaves and saute them for 2-3 minutes.


Step3 - Add coriander powder(dhania powder), red chilli powder, jeera powder, garam masala and turmeric powder and saute it well for 2- 3 minutes more.

Step4 - Ass the soaked rice in it and let it get soaked in the masala.

Step5 - Add salt and 31/2 cups of water.

Step6 - Do not cover the rice and use light hand to mix the rice when it is half done.

Step 7- Cook till it is done

By Latika,

I  have recently recovered from typhoid and now my skin looks dull and I suffer from severe hair fall.I want to bring back the glow of my skin and stop hair fall.Please help!!!


Hi Latika, 


Any illness can affect the normal hair cycle which continues  for a month.This condition is popularly know as effluvium if I am not wrong. You need to take high protein diet to strengthen your hair and skin.With this ask your  doctor for some vitamin capsules too.


Do you have any recommendation for Latika?

                                              Lakme earth rose trio blush review

Ye yeyee!!! Me to got my Lakme rose blush which all the make up bloggers were talking about.Seriously Lakme products are getting better day by day atleast they give us something good in every new collection which they introduce.

When I bought it I thought it is a powder blush but it is some what little creamy in texture but it suits my skin and doesn't give any break outs. I have been wearing it since a week and no break outs till now with the blush.

Price of Lakme earth rose blush trio is Rs 600

I know price is little high when you think of Lakme but this product content is made in Italy so one can not expect it to a lower side :D (This is what SA told me :D)

This is what Lakme says about the product - Silky smooth, highly pigmented formulae for an effortless, uniform application, Complimenting shades of endless options to define , highlight and accentuate.

Look at the product isn't it a beauty?? ..Feel like eating it :D:D


Blush is highly pigmented and you got to be little careful while you are applying  blush.You can get a bronze effect, rose effect and mix of all three with this blush.It is kind of a multi purpose blush.
Staying power of the blush is 5-6 hours easily and I love it for that.I use it as a  natural blush during the day  and use its  rosy part at night time.            

Below are the swatches of Lakme earth rose blush trio

Here is me with my blush colour.  Little difficult to see the blush but I hope you can notice it

Have you tried any Lakme blush .How good was  your experience?
