First part of the grand finale is now up on Hotstar. Will telecast on TV at 9.30 PM IST.
Episode synopsis-
The sweetest episode of MCI so far...
Today's episode was dedicated to childhood and memories. The contestants need to make seven plates of a dish from their childhood that brings up their memories and cook with that joy they felt when they ate that in their childhood. All the contestants had their childhood photos kept with them to boost their morale. Only two out of the four will be able to go to the final round.
Smrutishree decides to make a mutton dish that her mom made along with salad, Abinas makes a fish and dahi baingan dish that he used to love as a child, Akanksha decides to give a contemporary twist to Aloo Matar that she cooked for the first time for her parents as a child and Oindrilla decides to make a Nolen Gur cheesecake with many elements in the memory of her celebrating Makar Sankranti at her phuphaji's factory as a kid.
Chef Vineet says Abinas looks the most confident with his childhood dish while Chef Ranveer says Oindrilla has a different shine in her eyes today to prove herself while Chef Vikas cautions that Oindrilla might be playing too safe by making a dessert again since she makes a dessert on every elimination round.
Then comes the twist. The contestants were supposed to make seven plates because one member from all their families will be coming to judge their dishes today. Oindrila's mon, Abinas's dad, Akanksha's friend and Smritishree's mom have come to judge the dishes with the judges and score them on a total of 10 without knowing who made what.
All the four contestants get their customized cook books with the best of recipes they have made on Masterchef India. π
Finally results time, from the family members Oindrilla scores the highest 39/40, followed by Abinas then Smrutishree and Akanksha scores the lowest. Then these marks are added to the marks by judges. So after total tally, Oindrilla becomes the first contestant to reach the final round as she scores the highest and has the best dish of the day. Followed by Abinas who comes second and so Oindrilla and Abinas become the finalists to go to the final challenge while Smrutishree and Akanksha are out since they get the lowest points after tally.
Final scores
Oindrilla: 64/70
Abinas: 61.5/70
Smruti: 56/70
Akansha: 55.5/70
Both Oindrilla and Abinas get their chef coats and get another surprise while blindfolded. Oindrilla's dad and Abinas's mom and grandma come to cheer for them. Emotional moment between the contestants and judges and then off to the final round.
Final round- Both Oindrilla and Abinas have to prepare a three course meal for 18 guests that includes the judges, ex contestants and winners, food critics and celebs. So in total both have to make 54 plates each in 4 hours. Oindrilla decides to make a puff pastry with bengali mughlai style chicken chaap filling for starter, a south indian rasam based dish for main course and a himachali inspired apple pie for dessert while Abinas decides to make an Odiya starter and main course (sorry forgot the name) and chenna poda with kheer for dessert.
Then some celebrity actress comes to the kitchen (sorry don't know the name have never seen her in my lifeπ) and as usual starts doing nautanki with the judges and starts flirting with Abinas
Rest to be continued tomorrow with Adnan Sami, the guy who plays Choocha in Fukrey and other contestants where they sing some songs, play some games etc (in short, the usual nonsense timepass on Indian TV)
