I have one big question after this round. Tell me something, how does a person like Yasmin know to prepare Mexican food?😕 or even Navneet for that matter. He couldn't even pronounce Hummous or Shish Taouk properly. Ripu doing Italian is fine. Doyal doing Thai is also okay. Aditi and Chinese is good. But Yasmin and Navneet?


See their background. Yasmin is from a poor background. Her doing all kinds of Indian dishes is fine. But how does she know the Mexican food?😕 Even I don't know Mexican food except for eating in Chilis.😆 And who in India normally prepares Arabic food?

Does it mean that the contestants are already given training in advance?😕



This what I had asked the forum in the very beginning. Basic knowledge of ingredients ( specifically not Indian ) is very important, so how does this competition justify these contestants

I agree...chinese is way too common...

they should have asked her to make ethiopian ...which is yuckkk 🤢😆 or Persian...which I like 😆



You know i had the same reaction when I first and last tasted Ethiopian in a restaurant. But then, my kids international day , the Ethiopian family had made this cabbage rolls in Ethiopian bread and wow,it changed my opinion. i think it is how it is cooked and what flavors they add.

Ok Guys if u see all the episodes carefully the contestants keep saying that they are given intensive training sessions every day. they are made to stay away from home and I remember in first masterchef they also showed how the contestant spend their day, where a contestant called Radhika talked a lot how well they teach them everyday.
So we just gets to see the examinations part.

So today's contest was to use Indian stuff to make international cuisine.


1. Since when has Parmesan cheese become Indian? (used by Ripu). Though I will say he did make pesto sauce from scratch and his dish looked different and he mixed a couple of dishes to make his dish. But end-result looked good

2. All the stuff that Navneet made, anyway are made of basic Indian ingredients.

3. I like how Navneet's flat bread looked so white and nice even after having been put directly on the coal

4. Forget about the timing. In less than 30 seconds, Navneet managed to make his bread and plate his dishes from scratch😆


🤣 you got them there..such shoddy editing.. what are they trying to prove.. hyperactive masterchefs (Read doyal and navu).. are superchefs.. get the food ready in a sec..

5. And if chefs like Ripu so much and he has made a good dish, shouldn't he have won today's award? I bet he would have but then how to substantiate a to-be Top3 who could never please the judge's taste buds

Fantastic point...Navneet's dish from technique and creativity aspect did not blow me ...
but i still don't get it why was aditi not saved.. I missed Ripu's bit... so can't comment on that..
