Food is often one of the easiest ways to fall in love with a new culture, and Sophie Shine seems to have done just that with Indian cuisine! In the upcoming episode of Sunday Brunch, Shikhar Dhawan and Sophie welcome Curly Tales to their Gurgaon home, where they chat with our Editor-in-Chief Kamiya Jani about food, relationships, sports and more. During the conversation, Sophie opened up about her love for Indian food, revealing that aloo paratha, gol gappe and chole bhature are among her absolute favourites.
Sophie Shine Loves Indian Food!
When Kamiya asked Sophie if she had a particular Indian dish she enjoyed, she was quick to confess her love for aloo paratha. But that was certainly not the only Indian delicacy on her list. She had quite a list, with a special mention of chaat!
“I love rajma, chole bhature. I love most of the snacks as well, like I love chaat, like papdi chaat. Gol gappe is my favourite. I love lots of Indian food, honestly,” she shared.
Shikhar Dhawan then revealed that whenever the two visit his parents’ home, his mother makes sure Sophie gets to enjoy some of her favourite dishes. In fact, she specially prepares dahi bhalle and gol gappe for her!

Shikhar Dhawan’s Mother Taught Sophie How To Make Rajma
Sophie also shared that her mother-in-law recently taught her how to prepare rajma. Learning to make the popular Indian dish gave her a newfound appreciation for Indian cooking, especially after realising just how much time and effort goes into preparing it.
She went on to share a rather amusing observation about Shikhar’s take on cooking. Whenever he visits Ireland and she prepares fish, prawns or pretty much any other dish, he jokingly tells her that simply putting something in the oven does not count as cooking!
However, after seeing the amount of preparation and effort involved in making Indian food, Sophie admitted that she now understands why he jokes like that.
It looks like Sophie seems to have embraced Indian food wholeheartedly. And if her list of favourites is anything to go by, aloo paratha and gol gappe have certainly won her over!
