Celebrate Independence Day with a Persian culinary journey by Nasrin Karimi in Chennai
If you wish to experience a truly heartfelt meal infused with love, nostalgia and tradition, look no further than the authentic Iranian–Persian home-cooked creations of Nasrin Karimi. From the almond gum and sabja seed based lemon drink to the Persian ice cream infused with saffron and rose water, Nasrin crafts meals that bring together delicate flavours and aromas. On August 15, Nasrin will curate an exclusive Persian dinner, bringing the rich aromas and flavours of Iran to Chennai. The pop-up menu will offer both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes such as saffroni paneer, mutton kobideh kabab, veg berry polov, orange peel rice, Shiraz mushroom, ghelyeh mahi — fish cooked in a tangy sauce — khoresht-e bamieh, a hearty mutton and ladies' finger stew, and prawn biryani. 'I arrived in Chennai (then Madras) in 1980 during the Iranian revolution, to pursue undergraduation at Queen Maris College and never left the city. After four decades of living here, I have understood the people and culture of this heritage city,' says Narsin, who is originally a stained-glass artist, and transitioned into professional cooking when invited to cater for the students of the American International School. Later in 2010, she was invited to open a café at Cholamandal Artists' Village—thus inaugurating the Shiraz Art Café. She then shifted the restaurant to Neelankarai beach front. Presently, Nasrin only conducts Persian food festivals across the country and caters from her home on pre-orders. Over a leisurely lunch at her residence, we are treated to Iranian home-style cooking. Her melt-in-the-mouth chelow kabab, tender and perfectly grilled meat, is paired with mint chutney. 'I learnt my Persian cooking simply by watching my mother,' she recalls. 'I perfected each dish through trial and error. Persian food is inherently healing — we use dry fruits, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, and herbs generously in our cuisine. I've also learnt to adapt traditional Iranian recipes to what's available locally. For example, I use lemon as the souring agent instead of sour grape juice.' she says, serving a prawn cocktail in a martini glass, which has succulent grilled prawns immersed in a yogurt-based sauce that has a hint of garlic and lemon, sprinkled with chilli flakes. The golden, aromatic saffron rice is the centrepiece of Iranian meals, and is served alongside a rich mutton and eggplant gravy. The highlight of this rice dish is tahdig (which means crispy crust formed at the bottom of the vessel). For the Maash polov (pulav) or the Orange polov, Nasrin blends green moong, dill leaves, onion, coriander, and orange peel. 'We always keep fresh mint leaves, a sliver of lemon, and raw onions on the side and eat them along with the meal. Apart from this, we also serve tomato-cucumber-onion salad and Iranian pickled vegetable with single-pod garlic we source from Iran. Of course, I make my own Apple Cider vinegar and use it in pickles and salad,' Nasrin says. The feast concludes with a serving of traditional Persian ice cream — saffron-rich, rosewater-infused, and sprinkled with pistachios — a sweet ending that left us longing for just one more bite. On August 15, celebrated chef Nasrin Karimi will curate an exclusive Persian dinner, bringing the rich aromas and flavours of Iran to Chennai. The pop-up menu will offer both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes such as saffroni paneer, mutton kobideh kabab, veg berry polov, orange peel rice, Shiraz mushroom, ghelyeh mahi — fish cooked in a tangy sauce — khoresht-e bamieh, a hearty mutton and ladies' finger stew, and prawn biryani. The meal will end on a sweet note with honey and fig ice cream and tarhalva, a fragrant Iranian custard. This special dinner will be hosted at Sea Thru Diner, located within VGP Universal Kingdom on ECR, from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm, and is priced at ₹1,700 plus taxes.

Eating in the dark: Delhi NGO hosts unique blindfolded dining experience
Eating is something we often take for granted, relying on our eyes to guide us. But on a special Friday night in Capital, people put on blindfolds to step into the shoes of those who can't see, learning to rely on touch, taste, and sound, for the everyday experience of the visually impaired. Participants explored miniature models of iconic landmarks, attempting to identify them using only their sense of touch This special evening was organised by Delhi-based NGO Saksham Trust — founded by Dipendra Manocha and Rummi K Seth — for the event Night of the Senses: Eating in the Dark at The Arthouse Café in Connaught Place. It opened with a touch-and-feel activity, where participants explored miniature models of iconic landmarks, attempting to identify them using only their sense of touch. This was followed by a series of inclusive, interactive games designed to offer a glimpse into how individuals with visual impairments navigate the world. 'It was a fascinating experience,' said Nessa Mytouei, an Iranian-American living in Delhi whose son joined one of the games, adding 'I've tried this before, so I know the feeling — the food tastes richer, and every moment feels more alive.' The sensory journey continued into a sumptuous dinner spread, eaten while entirely blindfolded. Delhi resident Divya Mohan shared, 'Being blindfolded wasn't difficult, but it offered a profound insight into the world of the visually impaired. It was deeply emotional and truly moving to experience life without sight.' Mohit Kejriwal, a visually impaired trainer and researcher, said, 'It's an initiative for others to experience what we go through every day. In the same world, every person's experience is different. From my perspective — the texture, taste, and smell — it's different from yours. This is a great opportunity for others to understand and engage their other senses, which they may not be used to using fully.'

Film producer Aminreza Chalabianlu thrives with cinematic storytelling in the entertainment world.
There are two sets of professionals across industries in the world. One set includes those who focus solely on fulfilling a set of goals and achieving personal success. The other set, however, consists of those who look at the larger 'picture,' to focus on doing more and being more in their careers, while becoming versatile and ensuring to impact the lives of others through all that they choose to lay their hands on. Belonging to the latter category is Dr. Aminreza Chalabianlu, a genius who, after excelling as an Iranian dental surgeon, is now making waves as a producer in the world of entertainment. This incredible talent, over the years, has made sure to do something that could touch upon lives, be it through his work as a dental surgeon or as a producer wanting to excel in global cinema. Aminreza Chalabianlu stands tall today as a rare blend of science and art, something the world would have hardly seen. He is a dental surgeon with more than 15 years of experience and is now also a visionary film producer with a growing list of acclaimed works. On one hand, his medical career has placed him among the top implantology experts in Iran; on the other hand, his venture into filmmaking as a producer has surprised and inspired up-and-coming talents in both industries. He recalls how his journey in cinema began with taking a bold step into producing feature films such as 'Zouzeh' and 'Constantinople,' which have garnered attention for their bold narratives and international appeal. He also invested in film stories he truly believed in, such as People's Wedding, Cinema Shahr-e-Farang, and Round Four. He produced films such as Four and Water, Wind, Soil, Fire. The powerful narratives of these feature films showcased his excellence in understanding impactful stories and putting them across audiences to take global cinema to a greater level. Aminreza Chalabianlu's approach to film production also mirrors his medical ethos, which is patience, precision, passion and a commitment to excellence. Today, he is a leading dental surgeon and cosmetic implant specialist with clinics in Tehran and Istanbul, while also emerging as a rising figure in the entertainment world as a film producer, balancing two demanding works like a genius.
