The vibrant camaraderie among Kolkata Knight Riders players was on full display during a recent cooking session where teammates Ramandeep Singh, Vaibhav Arora, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi joined together to prepare a traditional dish called ‘Dim Torka’. 

Longing For Special Food

During the special off-pitch cooking session, the players expressed their longing for Punjabi food, with Ramandeep Singh jokingly lamenting, “What to do? We can't find Punjabi food anywhere.” This sparked a conversation about their shared cultural backgrounds and food preferences. The host introduced them to a Bengali-Punjabi fusion dish called ‘Dim Torka’ - a special preparation popular in Kolkata that combines elements of Punjabi cooking with Bengali flavours.

What stood out throughout the interaction was the natural way the players teased each other, revealing the close friendship between Ramandeep and Vaibhav that has developed since their early cricket days.
