Tendulkar took to Twitter and shared the video.

Here's how Tendulkar prepared the dish

After preparing the dish, Tendulkar revealed that his mother used to cook baingan bharta when he was a kid. "So this bharta of course as I mentioned is for my mother, Anjali, and Sara. I want my mother to taste this first because she spent hours and hours cooking this for me when I was a kid,” Tendulkar said.

The 45-year-old then lets his mother taste it. "I made baingan bharta, see if you like it. Tell me if tastes like how you make it. Is it spicy?" Tendulkar asked his mother in Marathi.

Luckily, Tendulkar’s mother liked the taste of baingan ka bharta and complimented her son. Tendulkar then ends the video by saying, “that’s how mothers are. Even if you fail in any attempt, they never tell you.”
