A Date with Kurkure

Was attracted to this lovely girl with dainty tresses and milky, soft skin. I befriended her and we hit it on well together. I came to know that she is in my college but was specializing in PCM while yours truly was stuck in zoology. Soon, we would go home together and I felt myself getting mesmerized by her presence.

Why Kurkure does not need a celebrity to clear the air of Kurkure controversy

We see celebrity ads for Kurkure with actors like Juhi Chawla and Kareena Kapoor in it. But we have never seen them clearning the air about the Kurkure controversy. The reason is simple-they do not need to. The list of ingredients mentioned in the Kurkure packet is enough for people to know the truth.Unlike other brands like Cadbury, which needed an Amitabh to convey to people about the truth of no pesticide and ICICI bank that needed an SRK to silence detractors about the controversy of the bank, Kurkure has kept a stoic and dignified approachKurkure does not need celebrities to clear the air. When there are people like us, commoners who have credible things to say against the Kurkure plastic issue, the brand will feel nothing but proud. When you have the junta backing you, there is no...

Kurkure Tamatar Hyderabadi style

Here is a review of the fabulous Kurkure Tamatar Hyderabadi style: These are shaped kind of like crunchy cheese curls, though the individual pieces were usually less irregularly shaped than crunchy curls such as Cheetos.Kurkure Tamatar Hyderabadi is tangy, saucy and an unbeatable combination of taste and zing. Most cheese curls are made from corn meal, but these included the trio of rice, corn and gram, which might account for the variation in look. Biting into it is really fun but the real standout feature was the flavor, a great mix of Indian spices that tasted great and gave an amazing sensation in the mouth.Though it is termed Hyderabadi...

Nothing could be more stupid: firstly we need to consider that the edible oil that is used in rice bran oil is rich in good fats (MUFA and PUFA) and has low saturated fats. Also, it is a fact that any fried product...
