PUTTING THEIR COOKING HATS ON, some of the U Mumba players teamed up to cook off with the assistance of two brilliant chefs at the Courtyard Marriott on Tuesday afternoon.
On a day where the winner would be decided based on taste and appearance of the food, captain Anup Kumar and local boy Rishank Devadiga each were partnered up with the new boys of U Mumba, Manoj Dhull and Sunil Kumar respectively.
Armed with a set menu and the guidance of the chefs, the MumBoys whipped up four superb dishes in just an hour, encouraged by the cheers of their fellow teammates. As coaches Bhaskaran and Ravi Shetty looked on in amusement, plating was complete and it was time for the judgement.
Rishank and Sunil had prepared Dal Fry and Bhindi Aloo while Anup and Manoj had prepared Gobi and Jeera Rice. After a careful round of testing by both coaches and the two chefs, Rishank and Sunil were adjudged the winners of the Cook-Off.
