Pandya Store: Amba outsmarts Natasha in culinary showdown

Tonight's Pandya Store episode commences with an unexpected twist as the contractor reveals Amresh had instructed him to demolish Pandya Store. Natasha (Priyanshi Yadav) confronts Amresh about the shocking revelation. Dhawal, equally bewildered, inquires if Amresh made such a request. Meanwhile, Pranali's seemingly straightforward task of procuring a gas cylinder turns chaotic when the delivery person deceitfully claims to be stuck in traffic. Chameli takes it upon herself to send the cylinder guy away. Pranali attributes this entire predicament to Natasha's perceived over-smartness.

Amresh's clarification: 

The intensity of the situation rises as Amresh takes matters into his own hands. He delivers a resounding slap to the contractor. Amresh firmly asserts that he had explicitly asked the contractor to demolish all the other shops while sparing Pandya Store. The contractor vehemently denies any such instruction, leading to a heated confrontation. Amresh, unwavering in his conviction, reiterates that he had indeed given these instructions. The tension eases somewhat as Amresh clarifies to Suman (Krutika Desai) and the rest of the family, who ultimately accept his side of the story. On the other side of this tumultuous affair, Amba's concern about the breakfast preparations prompts her to inquire about the situation. The daughters-in-law, caught in the crossfire, admit their inability to find an immediate solution. Amba, displaying her characteristic resolve, decides to take matters into her own hands, dismissing them with the promise to find a way out of this problem.

Apology and resolution: 

In a surprising turn of events, Amresh, realizing the chaos he inadvertently caused, offers a heartfelt apology for the unfolding mess. Having seen the sincerity in his eyes, Suman gradually begin to soften towards him. Natasha, amid this commotion, suddenly remembers the cooking she had left midway. She hastily makes her exit, leaving everyone bewildered. Suman suggests that Natasha's abrupt departure might be attributed to her cooking blunder. Upon reaching home, Natasha finds Amba and the other daughters-in-law diligently arranging the dining table. Natasha inquires if they've managed to resolve the dilemma, to which Hetal confirms their success. Natasha, filled with pride for her mother-in-law's prowess, eagerly anticipates the unveiling of the dishes. However, as Amba lifts the lids off the serving dishes, the entire room is filled with stunned gasps. To everyone's shock and dismay, the food is revealed to be completely raw.

Amba's triumph: 

Meanwhile, Natasha panics, looking at the arrival of Amresh, Dhawal and others. Even they are stunned to watch raw food served, and Amba seizes the opportunity to mock Natasha mercilessly. However, Amresh reassures Natasha amid her panic. Amba taunts Natasha's plan of one stove and asks her sons to have hot water. Amresh, followed by everyone, drinks the hot water and leaves for their respective work. After a brief break, Amba confidently announces that she has arranged replacements for the cylinders and gas stoves. As the men brought up the cylinders, a triumphant Amba looks at Natasha, who couldn't help but wonder if this might turn out for the best.

Precap: 

In a precap of Pandya Store, Natasha questions her actions, seeking to understand where she went wrong. She pleads her case, explaining that she had merely gone to her brother's place to tie Rakhi. Dhawal, with an air of authority, suggests that Natasha must align herself with his brother's preferences, insinuating that he won't tolerate any actions that might upset his sibling. The viewers are left with a cliffhanger, pondering the implications of this new development on Natasha's relationship with her brother and her place within the family.
