Celebrity MasterChef is inching towards its grand finale, scheduled for April 11. In a recent episode, the celebrity contestants faced a daunting challenge from Chef Rahul Rana. He introduced the most intense cooking task of the season, where the celebs had to replicate his Shadras dish. It includes six unique dishes with 22 elements. As a result, the contestants, who are leaving no stone unturned, found themselves in a challenging situation.
The Farah Khan-hosted cooking-based reality show has captivated the audience with its unique blend of fiery competition and challenges. In the recent episode, Faisu received praise from the judges and earned an advantage for the next round. Meanwhile, Gaurav Khanna nearly lost the challenge.
The contestants were stunned when Rahul presented the exquisite dish. Each of the six dishes in the cuisine—sweet, salty, astringent, bitter, sour, and pungent—had 22 ingredients. The celebs were given 150 minutes to complete the challenge.
Before the challenge started, Gaurav was given a choice to use the advantage he had gained in the previous episode. This advantage allowed him to use Chef Rahul’s assistance in preparing the most challenging dish. While it was clearly a major advantage, he failed to convert it to victory.
Shadras was an aesthetically pleasing meal with excessive colours, which made it difficult for Gaurav, who struggled because of his colour blindness. Later, the actor found sweet potato roasting difficult, so he took advantage of Rahul Rana’s assistance. With the Chef’s help, he completed the dish even though he had trouble getting the colors right.
On the other hand, Faisu was also under pressure while preparing the dish. However, judges Farah Khan, Rahul and Ranveer Brar motivated him to try his best. This kind gesture from the judges played a major role in the task.
Furthermore, Chef Vikas Khanna announced the results, stating that Rahul’s and Gaurav’s dishes were extremely similar. However, Faisu was declared the winner and received an edge for the upcoming challenge. Chef Vikas revealed that 16 out of the 22 components were present in Faisu’s dish, which made his dish stand out. Meanwhile, Chef Ranveer Brar revealed that Gaurav had narrowly missed the hat trick.
