I think beside Aruna everyone tried to have that everyone is comfortable especially Suwarna but her bad luck 2nd option mein bhi non veg mila which she can’t do anything to change.

They replaced fish with paneer for her? Wtf! I was thinking iska fish kidhar hai (i skip when i watch) and I am so glad she didn't get the pin. I used to like her, actually, but this is so stupid.

I liked today's challenge. Everyone has the same ingredients, the same cooking method, and the same spices.

Lol I just had choyote squash today for lunch. 🤣 My mom commented, "Copying me huh?" 🤣

I feel like Aruna getting paneer was dubbed afterwards. Maybe they had some push back from the channel after the episode was shot to change it. The challenge was probably slightly different as well. This wasn't a chef decision. The voice didn't sound like Ranveer either. Honestly I'm not surprised. My one concern when the show moved to Sony was channel interference. Sony is not known for being kind to its shows and I expected some interference here.

Unlike everyone here, I don't think they are setting Aruna up for the win. They'll probably make her 1st or 2nd runner-up. The winner will be someone who is a surprise for us - I'm hoping Gurki or maybe even Nayan. Plus they've had female winners for 3 seasons in a row. It's time for a male winner.

Garima's comment to Suvarna was so on point. She literally said I put chow chow in it because I had the ingredient so why not. Garima said, but if there's no flavour then what's the point. Which is so right? What's the point of using the ingredient if you aren't tasting it? Just because you have to?

Its so weird that Aruna got Paneer to cook with. People like these shouldnt come to MC . Did previous Mc seasons have similar instances? She cooks with garlic ginger carrots aloo etc right? I am so conflicted about this.

I think in one season someone was allowed to cook with potatoes instead of non veg but rest all seasons all the vegeterian cooks were supposed to cook with non veg. I remember Ranveer himself would tell that cooks can't choose in professional kitchens. Kriti Bhoutika was vegeterian but she cooked many non veg dishes.

The hypocrisy of this season is only favouring Aruna. Why wasn't the same advantage given to Baa or Priya who do not cook with non veg food yet had to use eggs. And I myself am confused about her beliefs. On one hand she says no to egg and on the other hand her carrot cake becomes dish of the day. lol

So basically todays challenge was everybody cooks with the same ingredients (except Aruna maiyya). I didn’t understand the point of everyone choosing a different cloche.

Anyway, Priyanka got diary and her cloche had ghee, she kept it. It was a great ingredient. Second was Suvarna, she got minced meat and only changed it for Aruna, the second cloche had rawas (fish), Nayanjyoti’s cloche had baking, Kamaldeeps cloche had chayote squash that she only kept because everyone else was comfortable with it. Aruna went last and got sichuan peppers, everyone was ok with it, but she wasn’t. Her second cloche had basil.

Then comes an announcement that Aruna will use paneer! If Aruna was allowed to use paneer, that option should’ve been made available to the others too. Maybe we’d have seen a few more variations of kalakand. Since chef Manav made kalakand and won, the contestants think making kalakand will make them win (did happen for KDK)! Seriously there’s hardly any creativity this season.

Talking about the dishes -

Suvarna - her plate looked like a mess. Even a 10 year old would plate better. She’s great at Maharashtrian flavours and should’ve aced this challenge. She clearly hadn’t used chayote squash before and was clueless what to do with it. I wish she’d atleast done something more with her fish, and then maybe just serving the squash as a salad with some chatpata masala.

Kamaldeep - she chose to make Amritsari machchi, with a chayote squash salad and hollaindaise flavoured with basil. She made an everyday dish, where was the innovation? She just paired it with something different.
A squash used as salad wasn’t anything new either. Maybe it tasted great, but it wasn’t a dish good enough dish to win the immunity pin.

Priyanka - I really liked her thought. To make a fish flan, which is not common or done before on the show. I forgot what she did with her other ingredients. But full marks for innovation. The judges felt her dish didn’t have enough flavour.

Nayanjyoti - I loved how he made the pasta - those coloured lines, the shape, it looked lovely. It’s a pity his dish wasn’t liked.

Aruna - she stuffed kalakand made with paneer in poached chayote squash. She didn’t even know how to poach, needed help from those in the balcony. Again her dish wasn’t an innovation. First we’ve seen kalakand for the third consecutive challenge, secondly stuffed kalakand is nothing new.

During tasting except for Kamaldeep, everybody’s dish had quite some negatives. Still Aruna’s dish was the second best - when the sugars hadn’t penetrated the chayote squash. Something that basic.

I don’t think any dish deserved to win the immunity pin today. Firstly it was an easy challenge, then there was nothing unique about the dish, also presentation was quite bad.

Yup. Priya was done dirty in my opinion. Also if Naziya quit - Priya could have been brought back. I feel conflicted coz am a vegetarian and I understand her dilemma , but then I also feel a chef should know to cook with anything. You cant have an only vegetarian michelin star chef . But I also feel vegetarians then cant become world class chefs which shouldnt be the case. I dunno if I make sense. 🤔 Also her whole convenience wali Jainism doesnt sit right!

Exactly! Why couldn’t the give some leeway to Priya? Why just Aruna?
Also, Aruna happily uses onions, garlic, ginger, and root vegetables. Selective Jainism.

She’s been favoured more than once, and even then she’ll behave like a victim.
She should’ve participated in the vegetarian season if she’s so particular about not cooking with meat and eggs.

Current season is totally biased. The judges favour Aruna too much 🤪

Unfair to rest 👎🏼

Give her trophy and finish this biased show 😳
