Giving tips to Ripu to use even sized cut onions and put ginger garlic later when his gravy was already in half cooked does not give him extra leverage in competition..
From the start of the episode Navneet had that smile which seems like he knows he is gonna win.
I hope this is not a trend for future..
PS: Unlike earlier times when chefs helped this time the fight was for chef coat they should have left the contestants to win on their own
