Sachin Tendulkar left mesmerised by Garo staple pumpkin chicken curry (Do’o Gominda) on summer jaunt to Meghalaya

Meghalaya chef Nambie Marak grew up with Sachin Tendulkar posters on her walls in Shillong. This weekend, the MasterChef runner-up found the perfect opportunity to rustle up a Garo special meal for her cricket hero as he visited the state. On the table was a chicken-pumpkin curry, the Do’o Gominda, of which Tendulkar asked for a second helping, Nambie told HubNews. “I had the unbelievable honor of cooking for the Sachin Tendulkar. Yes, that Sachin Tendulkar—the man whose name is woven into the fabric of every Indian childhood, including mine,” Nambie told HubNews, after she was invited by Courtyard Marriott Shillong, to showcase the rich, earthy flavours of Meghalaya at their Garo Food Festival.

Ranji Trophy final: Powered by outsiders Karun Nair’s Vidarbha and Aditya Sarwate’s Kerala vie for domestic title

As Karun Nair fixed his cap, stroked the stubbled chin and smiled into the cameras mounted near the stairway to the dressing room, Kerala captain Sachin Baby, striding onto the ground, yipped at the reporters queuing up to shoot questions: “Avanod Malayalathil utharam parayan para!” Ask him to give the answers in Malayalam.
