After gold medals, sprinter Hima Das shows off culinary skills

Hima Das

New Delhi: Ace Indian sprinter Hima Das has been the talk of the town ever since she won five gold medals in a single month in Europe recently. And now she is winning hearts on social media with her cooking skills.

In a video making rounds on social media, Hima is seen preparing an Assamese-style dal inside her hotel room in Europe.

The Assam sprinter said, "people went crazy after eating the dal". The aroma filled her room. Hima, 19, said she and another Indian athlete - Saritaben Gayakwad - went to the market on Saturday and bought a sauce-pan and all other things required for the preparation of the dish. She used an induction cooktop. Away from home, it gave her a different feeling all together. She ended the video with, "Mon jai" (which in Assamese means "I feel like").
