Besan nankhatai holds a special place in my heart. The Indian shortbread cookie (aka atta besan nankhatai) melts in the mouth and can be had as is. It's a favorite with kids and elders alike. I remember dad bringing home besan nankhatais every time he visited our local bakery and it would be a feast time for us all. My siblings and I would love to indulge in besan nankhatais and even the maida ones. Back then, maida was not seen as a dragon in my culinary world.

But now there has been a sea change in my life - the kid that I have always been craves for cookies even now but no longer enjoys market junk.

Do Oily Skin Remedies Work? Are you looking for oily skin remedies? 

Well, oily skin is often related to pimples, acne breakouts, whiteheads, and blackheads. The overproduction of sebum is responsible for your oily skin. Located under the surface of the skin, the sebaceous gland produces sebum, which is an oily substance made of fats. In normal conditions, sebum moisturizes your skin and keeps it glowing. However, too much of sebum due to stress, hormonal imbalance, and genetics may make your skin oily, resulting in clogged pores and acne. The release of natural oils from the skin helps retain moisture and prevent it from drying. But too much of sebum may clog pores and cause all types of skin problems. Here are a few home remedies for oily skin. Oily Skin Remedies: Causes
1.Genetics Your genetics might be the culprit behind your oily skin. Perhaps you have inherited oily skin from your parents. This may make you more susceptible to acne due to clogged pores and the overproduction of e…

There is a lot of buzz about going gluten-free these days. But unless you are sensitive to gluten or suffer from celiac disease, you may not need to switch to a gluten-free diet. Most people are going the gluten-free route, owing to the belief that gluten can have deleterious effects on health.

The gluten-free diet dangers outnumber the benefits for many people. So the next time you decide to eliminate gluten from your diet without any specific reason, do not forget to consider the dangers of gluten-free diet.

If you are not gluten intolerant, it might be a mistake to eliminate gluten foods from your diet. Here are a few gluten-free diet dangers that y…
