Playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan has once again charmed her fans, this time not with her powerhouse vocals but with a glimpse into her Sunday routine. In a delightful new Instagram video, the singer swaps the spotlight for her home kitchen, dressed in a relaxed and comfortable outfit as she prepares a fresh, golden dosa on a hot griddle. The video shows Sunidhi scooping a generous amount of batter, spreading it with practised ease, and sharing her love for the classic South Indian breakfast dish.
Whether made with fermented rice and lentils or a quick semolina batter, the dosa is a weekend staple in her home, paired with an array of chutneys. "So guys, this is what my family and I eat on Sunday. This is officially our Sunday brunch. We love it," she says in the clip. She also hashtagged the post with "I am home" and added a subtle nod to her upcoming concert in Chennai.
