9-year-old Hayan Abdulla from Kerala cooks 172 dishes in an hour

How did you interest in cooking begin?

When I was three-and-a-half years old, I started helping my mother in the kitchen. When I was five, I started a YouTube channel. The more I learnt to cook, the more I was interested in it.

You have created a record by cooking 172 dishes in an hour. What kind of preparation went into it?

I didn’t practice much; I only got 10 days for it. But only the ‘with-fire cooking’ part was hard. Fireless cooking was easy. So I cooked 150 dishes in 50 minutes, and in the remaining 10 minutes I cooked more and garnished the dishes.

Among the 172, which was your favourite?

The Caesar salad; it is made of fried bread, lettuce, and boiled chicken.

Are you planning for any more records?

I’m eyeing the Guinness Record. And I am not going to tell you what it is going to be!

Who do you go to when you need help?

My mother.

Who’s your favourite chef?

CNZ Burak is my favourite cook. He is a Turkish chef.

Which is your favourite cuisine?

Italian.

Your dream is to start a pasta kitchen. Why pasta?

Pasta is generally very expensive, but I want to make it affordable for everyone. Also, my favourite dish is pasta.

So, how is your pasta bar going to be different from the rest?

There are 350 types of pastas in the world, and I want to provide all the 350 types in my bar. In fact, I will be launching the pasta bar very soon.

What are your plans for the future?

I love travelling, and so I want to become a pilot. It has been my dream.

Will you continue to cook even when you grow up?

Definitely.
