Radio Tarana has named Aucklander Shubhangi Mahindrakar as the Super Chef of the Year in a tight contest.

Programme Presenter Pawan Prasad said that she was chosen out of eight finalists who included Aparna Sinnarkar, Darshana Sinnarkar, Dinar Jabin, Mina Pathak, Mohib Sonawalla, Vick Grover and Vimla Sharma

The finalists were picked out of 37 entries received when the first competition of its type ran on air the radio station last fortnight.

Bharat Jamnadas of Asia Down Under was the judge.

Ms Prasad said that the finalists were provided with ingredients from which they were required to prepare a main dish and a side dish at the ‘Tarana Kitchen’ set up at the office of the Company in Central Auckland.

Ms Mahindrakar was awarded cash prize of $500 as per the rules of the Contest, while all participants received certificates and other prizes.

Radio Tarana Managing Director Robert Khan said that the competition was a part of the Station’s programme to promote various talents inherent in the community.

“While our Bollywood and other competitions are designed to give vent to the histrionic talent of our growing number of listeners in the Greater Auckland area, the ‘Super Chef’ contest aimed to explore and expose the culinary talent of men and women in the extended community. We are happy that the contest enlisted widespread interest and was closely followed by people of all ethnic groups. This is yet another programme to get closer to our people,” he said.

The contest to identify the ‘Super Chef’ began on October 15 and concluded on October 29. The entries were based on the ‘Diwali’ theme, to commemorate the ongoing Festival of Lights.
