A fourteen-year-old girl in south India set a record by cooking 60 dishes in only 40 minutes.

The master teenage cook Dharshini lives in Vadamadurai area of Dindugal district, Tamil Nadu, and learned to cook from a very young age.

Dharshini believes that food can cure diseases, and has a great passion for dishes that use small grains as ingredients.

Her intended target in her record attempt before the Universal Book of Records was to prepare at least 50 dishes in just an hour, using nine kinds of small grains.

However she made 60 dishes in just forty minutes on February 21.

Dishes like pancakes made from small grains, as well as boiled and sprouted grains tossed with chilli powder, were the highlight dishes.
