Sachin Tendulkar has offered fans a glimpse into his life beyond cricket, recalling how he would call his mother before returning home from long tours to tell her what he wanted to eat. The cricket legend spoke about the Maharashtrian dishes he craved while travelling and why his mother’s cooking remains difficult to replicate.
Tendulkar also spoke about a special mixture his mother used to prepare. He also highlighted two simple details that made the meal special: adding ghee and eating with one’s hands. As he spoke about the food, his excitement was evident, with the cricketer eager to get back to his meal.
Because nothing quite matched the food made by her hands, while the recipe has been shared within the family, he said that recreating the taste of her cooking was difficult.
He recalled calling his mother two or three days before returning home to tell her what he wanted her to prepare. Among the dishes he mentioned were varan bhaat, a traditional Maharashtrian combination of lentils and rice, batata bhaji, a potato preparation, and his favourite vegetable dish. For someone who has spent decades travelling across the world and winning some of cricket’s biggest tournaments, the most memorable meal can sometimes be the simplest cooked with heart at home.
In the video, Tendulkar says that he would miss home-cooked food whenever he was away on long tours.
