== Production ==
=== Game format ===
Every week, the show starts with celebrity chefs getting paired with their ''Comalis.''<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/the-genius-of-cook-with-comali/article34316466.ece|title=The genius of 'Cook with Comali'|newspaper=The Hindu|date=14 April 2021 }}</ref> Then the teams compete in Advantage Task 1 and Task 2. The teams then compete in Main Task and Immunity/Elimination Task. The Advantage task involves a minimal task in which a team does a small task and the winner of the Advantage task is given an advantage during the main task where the team can choose a time frame to work without any obstacles. During the Main task, every team is given a challenge or an obstacle that will make the cooking harder. The teams are given a specific time limit where they must cook with that time frame. Most of the cooking tasks are to be done by ''Comalis.'' The cook that gets Immunity is safe from next week's elimination and does not participate in that week. Some week are celebration rounds with no elimination.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.readersfusion.com/news/cooku-with-comali-all-season-winners-prize-money-runner-up-details/|title=Cooku with Comali All Season Winners, Prize Money and Runner Up Details|website=www.readersfusion.com|date=29 September 2021 }}</ref>
