I think by now I've realized the last thing one should expect from the contestants this season is innovation! They lack innovation so much, everyone is having herd mentality in the kitchen. Sachin literally got the whole pantry- like Suvarna had picked up everything and all he made were some tacos? It's one thing for Priya to follow her principles but yesterday she did use egg in her challenge so why couldn't she just use the protein today? It's not like she has been a vegetarian, she has only turned vegan three years ago. Forget the protein, she could've used the butter atleast to make a butter sauce that she could drizzle in the risotto. If you are so stringent about your dietary restrictions in a competition, I think it's better you go home and don't take part in competitions that involve both veg and non veg cooking.
I'm still pissed at Nazia for the taunt she made at Sachin today, I'm sure even Ranveer didn't like it. It was because of her that Sachin came in bottom yesterday. She needs to go asap. She is making Suvarna look like a saint in front of her.
I have to give to Suvarna though today despite hating her so much, credit where it's due she did innovate her dish thanks to the push by Garima. Polenta cake is pretty ordinary and common but the way she elevated the dish was mind-blowing. Her plating too was beautiful. I don't why but I liked the burnt leeks as well unlike Garima. I have noticed this of Suvarna and kind of relate her to Annapurna, in a sense that she can churn out dishes very fast. I have a feeling she probably used to do tiffin services or something before because her hands work like a machine because of which she first starts prep and then starts thinking. Even in team challenges, she always takes the responsibility of making huge batches of dough, etc. And there has been improvement in her plating and creative skills too but too bad her toxicity and attitude masks all her good qualities and she herself is responsible for that.
However I have a feeling she is going to last in the kitchen for long!
