Can Sadhya—the quintessential Kerala meal with 24-28 dishes—be compressed into a bite-sized delight? While most would say, not possible, 'why not', thought chef Himanshu Saini. At his Dubai restaurant Tresind Studio, he did just that. There are layers of grilled pineapple marinated in Indian spices, cream of rice, payasam, mango pickle, banana vinegar, cuddapah almonds, second press of coconut ice cream, grated sugar spiced stone, mela blossom flower that is served with a papadum and tomato broth tempered in southern spices. All bit by bit, layered to perfection so you can experience a myriad of flavours when you pop it in. Little wonder that this spirit of innovation created culinary history by making it the first Indian restaurant ever to receive the coveted three Michelin stars in the Michelin Guide Dubai 2025.
For someone whose food journey began in the heart of Old Delhi, where he grew up in a multigenerational home, being a chef was not part of his initial plans. 'But I found my footing at the Institute of Hotel Management in Aurangabad, where I discovered my passion and met lifelong collaborators. That experience taught me how to push boundaries while honouring the essence of Indian cuisine,' says Saini, who later trained under Chef Manish Mehrotra at Indian Accent in 2008. The same spirit of innovation led him to Dubai in 2018, where, with the support of Bhupender Nath, the CEO and Founder of Passion F&B, he started Tresind and eventually opened Tresind Studio—a fine dining concept rooted in Indian tradition but unafraid to break the mould.

PM Modi emplanes for Ghana NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked off the landmark five-nation tour on Wednesday, with visits lined up to Ghana, Trinidad & Tobago, Argentina, Brazil, and Namibia between July 2 and 9. The wide-ranging trip is aimed at enhancing India's deepening engagement with the Global South and its commitment to forging stronger partnerships across the Atlantic. 'I am confident that my visits to the five countries will reinforce our bonds friendship across the Global South, strengthen our partnerships on both sides of the Atlantic, and deepen engagements in the multilateral platforms such as BRICS, the African Union, ECOWAS and the CARICOM," the Prime Minister said in his departure statement. — narendramodi (@narendramodi) PM Modi's first stop is Ghana, where he will be hosted by President John Dramani Mahama. During the July 2–3 visit, PM Modi is set to focus on enhancing cooperation in sectors such as investment, energy, health, security, and development. 'Ghana is a valued partner in the Global South and plays an important role in the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States,' he said. PM will also address the Parliament of Ghana- a gesture he called 'an honour' for both countries as fellow democracies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night? Here's what a microbiologist says CNA Read More Undo Then in West Africa, the Prime Minister will travel to Trinidad & Tobago on July 3–4. Calling the Caribbean nation a country with which India shares 'deep-rooted historical, cultural and people-to-people connect,' PM Modi noted that this year marks 180 years since the first Indians arrived there. He will meet President Christine Carla Kangaloo and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who recently began her second term in office. 'This visit will provide an opportunity to rejuvenate the special bonds of ancestry and kinship that unite us,' he said. Next, PM Modi will head to Buenos Aires, marking the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Argentina in 57 years. Argentina, described as 'a key economic partner in Latin America and a close collaborator in the G20,' is expected to deepen collaboration with India in areas like agriculture, energy, trade, technology and critical minerals. PM Modi is scheduled to meet President Javier Milei, with whom he held a prior meeting last year. The Brazil leg of the trip includes participation in the Brics Summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6–7, followed by a bilateral state visit to Brasília. 'India is committed to BRICS as a vital platform for cooperation among emerging economies. Together, we strive for a more peaceful, equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order,' the Prime Minister said. His visit to Brasília- the first by an Indian Prime Minister in nearly six decades- will include talks with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on shared Global South priorities. The tour concludes in Namibia, where PM Modi will meet President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah. Emphasising the 'common history of struggle against colonialism' that binds the two nations, he said, 'It will be a privilege to also address the Joint Session of Namibian Parliament as we celebrate our enduring solidarity and shared commitment for freedom and development.' The Prime Minister's visit is being seen as a significant diplomatic push to reaffirm India's leadership role in the Global South and expand its outreach in both Africa and Latin America.
