Cooku with Comali, often abbreviated as CWC, is a Tamil-language humor cooking challenge program that airs on Star Vijay and streams on Disney+Hotstar, in which participants are matched every week with amateur cooks who are comics (comalis).
The show has become a quick favorite among both food enthusiasts and those looking for subtle humor.
It debuted on November 16, 2019. Each week, the candidates and their comalis are pushed and assessed by Chef Damodharan and Chef Venkatesh Bhat.

About Cooku with Comali Season 3
The show begins each week with celebrity chefs being partnered with their Comalis. The teams then participate in Advantage Tasks 1 and 2. Following that, the groups participate in the Main Task and the Immunity/Elimination Task.
The Advantage task entails a basic assignment in which a team completes a little task, and the victor of the Advantage task is granted an edge during the major task in which the team may operate with no barriers. During the Main job, each team is assigned a task or an impediment that makes the cooking more difficult. The teams are given a time constraint and must cook within that time range. Comalis will be in charge of the majority of the cooking.
The cook who receives Immunity is exempted from next week’s elimination round and does not take part in that week. Some weeks are “celebration” weeks, with no elimination.
