Today contestants had to taste a dish and guess the ingredients and as much as I detest her, Aruna was smart - she named the easy and most visible ingredients - rice, lotus stem, salt, etc. other contestants started naming ingredients that weren’t visible to the eye or were minuscule. Aruna and Suvarna were the last two women standing and they were the team captains.
Aruna got to choose her contestant first and she chose Shanta, Aruna chose Nayanjyoti, then Aruna chose Sachin and Aruna got Gurkirat.
Gurkirat as winner of yesterdays task got an advantage of 10 minutes extra time, which the whole team will benefit from, so all three cooks can cook for extra time (should’ve just been Gurkirat).
They have to make innovative Indian thalis for 20, and their dishes should reflect each contestants roots/journeys.
Aruna’s teams menu is 100% Aruna - Marwadi and South Indian dishes and Suvarnas is 100% Suvarna with majorly Maharashtrian dishes.
Aruna’s menu sounds more interesting for the moment, but from the precap we see that her gatta pulao is extremely spicy.
Suvarna was making a khatti meethi dal which was too spicy so Chef Prateek asked her to add jaggery and salt.
There’s some chaos in Suvarnas team - Shanta insists they cook rice and Suvarna wants Sachin to concentrate on Bharwan mirch instead. I think Shanta is right, while the rice is cooking the bharwan mirch can be stuffed. You can’t have a thali without rice.
Suvarnas team didn’t have a papad and aachar, so she’s working around it, Aruna’s team had no astringent and bitter flavours so she’s using kasoori methi. Also one of her vegetable preps was too little so she’s adding boiled and mashed potato.
The chefs already think Aruna’s menu is better and her captaincy is better.
We all know which team will win, I’m not expected any surprises.
