Karre Mastanamma (10 April 1911[2][3] – 3 December 2018) was an Indian centenarian who became a popular chef on YouTube with millions of followers.[4] At the time of her death in 2018, she had 2 million followers on YouTube. Despite having little knowledge of technology and only a basic education in rural Andhra Pradesh in southern India, Mastanamma, filmed by her grandson, became an Internet sensation following her first recording making a Baingan bharta (aubergine curry) in 2016.[5] She died in Gudiwada, her native village near Tenali in Guntur district on 3 December 2018.
