Sunflower seed oil is extremely high in vitamin E. This nutrient traps moisture inside your skin cells and keeps your skin hydrated for longer. Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that works at the cellular level to combat the “weathered-look” from the sun’s UV rays

Lamb Rogan Josh
Spicy, fragrant and hearty, this beautiful Lamb Rogan Josh brings back memories of travelling through Southern India ten years ago (oh, dear!) I had fallen in love with the dish, as well as with the country, and remember relishing the gorgeous flavours at a seaside restaurant in Goa! I am so happy, and rather proud, with how it tastes. It might require a bit of time, but it makes a very special lunch on a slow Sunday, and is well worth the effort! Have an excellent one, friends!
Ingredients (serves 4):
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 tablespoon Mustard Seed Oil
1 teaspoon Graines à Roussir
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 cloves
6 cardamom pods
1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
1 large onion
4 garlic cloves
1 heaped tablespoon Ginger Paste
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
2 bay leaves
4 Whole Peeled Tomatoes + 1/4 cup of their juice
1.2 kilos/2.65 pounds lamb meat, like lamb shoulder
1 cup water
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon demerara sugar
4 fluffy sprigs Garden Cilantro
In a large Dutch oven over a medium-high flame, heat sunflower oil with Mustard Seed Oil.
Add Graines à Roussir, Garam Masala, turmeric and cloves. Fry, 1 minute.
Crush cardamom pods, and add them to the Dutch oven, along with Red Chili Flakes. Fry, 1 minute more.
Peel onion and, using the coarse side of a box grater, grate it.
Stir grated onion into the oil and spices, and fry, a couple of minutes.
Using the thinner side of the box grater, grate garlic cloves.
Add grated garlic, along with Ginger Paste to the Dutch oven, and cook, another minute.
Cut lamb meat into generous chunks, and add to the Dutch oven, in batches, browning well on each side. Season with coarse sea salt, and stir in bay leaves.
Finely chop Whole Peeled Tomatoes, and stir, along with their juice, into the Dutch oven. Cook, 1 minute.
Finally, stir in the water and plain yoghurt, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover with the lid, and simmer, one hour to one hour and a half, until the sauce has darkened, reduced and thickened.
Remove the lid, and stir in demerara sugar until completely dissolved.
Finely chop Cilantro, and stir into the Dutch oven.
Simmer, about 5 minutes more.
Serve Lamb Rogan Josh hot, onto Cardamom Rice, and with warm Podeena Paratha.

A week ago I ate a ,,Costco sample", a small paper cup filled with a trail mix like concoction dubbed 'salad topping'. Little did I know this morsel of a treat would still be annoying me to this day, as within the mix was a stray sunflower seed kernel, which gave me the tiniest patch of fucking hives on my tongue. Seven days later, I still have a few taste buds that are inflamed and cause constant pain that's worse when I eat. This is genuinely going to be the death of me
