I wonder how Bhakti came over this??!!!

yeah! thats what i was thinking also you need soak rajma well enough before cooking. adding soda didnt make any sense to me.


*to the member who said neha's dish was innovative, im sorry to say i didnt find her dish innovative as well as i had theplas and pakoras with my family. vijay tried something new in adding hibiscus in the daal baati, nikita made a pastry out of a pumpkin curry, meenuji's panjiri looked somewhat interesting as i felt setting liquid as a gel was now seen post kerala week

^Absolutely agree...Meenu aunty gave a desi dish like panjeeri to a absolute new shape... it was like ummmuaaahhh as Ranveer said. also Vijay also did some innovation while using hibiscus while making the dough for Baati..

i agree! but i would like to advice to vijay to try out some other cuisines other than rajasthani food! want him to start exploring other kinds of cuisines

^ Yaa even I was wondering too.. Vijay needs to be more innovative.. He must try other cuisines too esp. some continental or middle eastern dishes.. But I am sure judges and trainer will look into this as I can see him going quite ahead in this show... I feel they esp. Chef Vikas Khanna will take him under his wings to train him.

^although he did try a kerala dish which was good sign but this week was to cook fav food cooked by mum so i kinda do understand and will let him go this time but hopefully he tries his hand in baking and other stuff...

^ Yaa agreed on what you said.. plus considering his background, I really admire the self confidence, he is gaining gradually on this show.. if you remember the first time he came on the show with this dish, he was looking so under-confident but I think judges and channel is paying attention to his grooming too.

^ agreed. wanna see him explore arabian culture in the upcoming trips

a biggg nooo
