Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi will be seen portraying the role of Tarla Dalal, India’s first-ever home chef. The actor announced the film, named ‘Tarla’, on Tuesday. Produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwary, and Nitesh Tiwari, the food biopic will be directed by Piyush Gupta.

Huma Qureshi took to Twitter to share the first-look poster of the Tarla Dalal’s biopic and announced that she has begun filming for it. The caption read, “#Tarla ke tadke se aata hai mann mein ek hi sawaal Kab milega mauka to experience unke swaad ka kamaal Miliye Tarla Dalal se aur jaaniye unki masaledaar kahaani Filming now (sic)!”

Tarla Dalal was an Indian food writer, chef, cookbook author, and host of cooking shows. She was the first Indian to have been awarded a Padma Shri award in the culinary skills category in 2007. The late chef, who was popular for her palatable recipes, was every cook’s inspiration, and her cooking instructions are still present in every culinarian’s food dairy.
