A record number of people thronged the venue of the preliminary round of The Hindu’s Our State Our Taste cooking contest in Hubballi on Saturday, making it a full house event.
The rules were simple yet challenging and the contestants put up a tough fight. The participants had to cook a traditional Kannada dish or give an interesting twist to a recipe and bring it to the venue.
Sneha Paltankar, who was the winner of this round, impressed the judges with her wholesome vegetarian thali.
