In a heartfelt video, the former Indian batter reveals his favorite meal, served on a steel plate, which includes varan-bhat (dal and rice), batatyachi bhaji (potato curry), prawn curry, and a generous dollop of ghee, or toop in Marathi. Tendulkar fondly recalls calling his mother two or three days before returning from a tour to inform her of his preferred dishes. Among his favorites is the prawn curry, which he describes as a unique dish with a taste that is challenging to replicate. \"Her cooking was on a different level. I don't think anyone can make it that way. Impossible!\" Tendulkar states about his mother's culinary skills. The former India captain's mother cooks less frequently now, but he has shared her recipes with the family. However, despite everyone's efforts to recreate her dishes, the original flavor remains unmatched. Tendulkar emphasizes the joy of eating with one's hands, a fond memory he shares with his audience. He pours ghee over his meal and mixes the rice and dal with his hands before signing off with a smile.",
