'You should relax.'
'Don't shout.'
'But listen to me.'
'Please stop wasting time.'
'I just... I can't do this.'
'Usha, what's going on?'
'Don't make it too sour.'
'It won't be. Usha, hear me out.'
'We will taste it.'
- 'Come back. We'll get eliminated.' - 'Are they fighting?'
- 'No, you do it.' - 'Come on.'
Welcome to MasterChef Airlines.
Whoo!
- Come on in. - [guests, hosts applauding]
[indistinct chatter]
[applauding]
[music concludes]
They all look fully charged up.
Right. I mean, they all look so great.
And our judges, too.
- Ready to take off. - Very handsome.
Farah.
And she took a dip in some 'kadhi'.
- Oh! - [comic music playing]
And how about you in purple and orange?
- Yes. - What about that?
[indistinct chatter]
- Orange. - Orange!
Hey, Chandan. What are you doing among them?
You're above them all.
You will go up there and stay there.
- What? - [laughs]
You're out of the immunity race, right?
Alright then.
Chandan, buddy.
- Bye, Chandan. - We'll miss you, Chandan.
[tense music playing]
Let me tell you, things will get messy today.
There'll be confusion, bedlam, chaos!
- Oh! - What?
I'm like, 'Man, what is going on here?'
I mean, every time, there's got to be a twist!
Gosh!
My gut starts twisting when I hear the word 'twist'.
I'm really confused
about what's going to happen. What will they do now?
So, are you all ready?
Yes!
Are you ready, Chandan?
It's not like I'm doing anything.
- Of course, I'm ready. - [laughing]
- Shall we? - Yes, sir.
Bring out the challenge, please.
[tense music plays]
'It's definitely something big.'
There's no way they would make things easy for us.
We got to see what it is,
but I think it's going to be terrible.
I just hope it's not a mystery box.
- On the count of three. - Ready?
- Two... - Two...
- One! - One. Go!
- Whoa! - Oh!
Where are we going?
I hope your geography is good.
- No. - Yes.
It's not.
'The judges said'
we're having a geography test,
and I thought, 'No, please!'
I cannot do this.
'A lot of questions were racing through my head.'
'I couldn't make sense of it.'
All I could think of
was that I wanted that immunity pin
and I was willing to face whatever it was.
Any guesses about this is, or what the map is for?
- It's a map of India and the world. - A world map.
Teja?
- And it says MasterChef Airlines there. - Yes.
So the winner of this competition will win a flight.
- Wow! - Yes!
- Nice! - [laughing, cheering]
- Wow! - First class.
Superb!
We've revealed only half of the mystery to you.
The rest of the mystery
Huh? Boarding pass?
- Boarding pass. - We're getting boarding passes.
It is a boarding pass.
- Oh! - It's in here.
Wow!
'This was only a part of it.'
The other part was in the envelope.
We still don't know what's happening.
Teja, step forward.
Teja, take these envelopes and distribute them.
[tense music playing]
Everybody will open their envelopes...
- Huh? - ...look inside,
and, Dipika, you will tell us what's in yours.
Three, two, one. Open them.
- Okay. - Open.
- What's this? - Huh?
- It's a boarding pass. - A boarding pass!
- A boarding pass? - Thailand.
- A pass? - Huh?
- But it's only half. - Just half a pass?
- Oh, I'm going to Kerala. - Mexico!
- I'm flying to Gujarat. - Korea?
[intriguing music playing]
- It has my face. - Yes.
And it says Italy.
- I think this is a badge. - And?
And this is a boarding pass for Italy, but it's only half.
'Now, I'm wondering'
what I'm supposed to do with this half-a boarding pass.
What does it say on yours?
- It says Mexico. - Mexico?
So, today on Celebrity MasterChef, we're having our first-ever...
pair challenge.
Oh!
'I am so...'
nervous. I'm excited. I'm scared
about who will be paired with me.
You all see that you got half a boarding pass.
Yes.
So that means the other half,
that is the one that completes yours,
is with someone else.
- Okay. - And that's your partner.
Okay.
I'm a goner.
I'm done.
You see, working alone is different.
When I have to work with someone else,
things might go south.
I don't know who I'll end up with.
I'm really worried.
Now you will look at each other's passes
- and see... - Show me yours.
- Here. - Bring it close.
...what passes join.
- With whom? - Yay!
Alright, Teja.
[tense music plays]
- Whoa! - [screams, laughs]
Oh, man!
There is a God! I'm with Faizu.
We're such good friends. We're brothers.
Punjab and Mexico.
- It's perfect! - Come on!
'I'm really losing it.'
I mean, it's Gaurav.
I said it on the first day
that I don't like Gaurav.
'Two swords in one scabbard.'
It's got to be fun.
'Usha knows'
that I'm her partner.
But she seems to be in shock.
[laughs]
Usha, how do you feel?
Archana is your partner.
I'm so happy.
- [laughing] - [comic music plays]
- [laughing] - You don't look happy, though.
Of course, I'm happy. You know.
- She saw me. - Now, tell us the truth.
I really am happy.
I just hope she keeps her mouth shut.
[laughter]
Nikki.
Just yesterday, you told us that you don't get along with Gaurav.
'Why do you not like Gaurav?'
'I don't know. I don't get good vibes.'
And, ma'am, I'm also a pretty dominating person.
We're working as a pair to do I don't know what...
Maybe he likes dominatrices.
I can work with it. I'm a Punjabi, so I'll do with what I get.
Alright.
The most excited here, the ones jumping...
- Jumping! - ...in joy,
were Faizu and Rajiv.
Both of you, what's happening?
- I mean, such excitement. - You said, both of us?
So both of us will be in danger?
Yes.
Bro, please do well today.
- It's both of us. - By the way, he cooks well.
- Yes, correct. - Come on!
'He's my friend.'
I do love him,
but he's not a good cook.
I mean, he's alright
but not as good as Rajiv, of course.
Alright then. Shall we give them their aprons?
- Aprons? - Aprons?
- We're wearing ours.
Since you're working in pairs, you will wear the same-coloured aprons.
Oh!
- Oh! - Nice.
'Then we got these cute, red-coloured aprons.'
Red is one of my favourite colours.
I'm very excited for today's challenge.
[uplifting music playing]
So, this is your challenge today.
- Hmm. - You must have noticed
some of you have a foreign country
while the other got an Indian state.
Today, you'll take inspiration from the foreign country and an Indian state
to come up with a welcome drink.
- Oh. - Oh.
[tense music playing]
Two different countries two different cuisines.
How do we combine them to make something new?
Right now, I feel like, why did I agree to do this?
Alright. Go to your counters in three, two, one.
In this pairs challenge,
the welcome drink that fails to impress us
will turn into a 'goodbye' drink.
- Ooh! - Darn it!
'Oof! They love to scare us.'
I mean, it's just the first week, the third episode.
Let the kids breathe.
What are you doing? Why are you trying to kill us?
I'm scared now.
And for this challenge,
our world-class MasterChef pantry is open to you all...
for only two minutes.
And the time you get for this challenge
to make one drink is 20 minutes.
Oh!
'What can you really do in two minutes?'
Just walking there would take us two minutes.
'The challenge is hard. We get only 20 minutes.'
And we get only two minutes extra.
Get your aprons on!
[tense music playing]
You get two minutes to get your supplies
from MasterChef's world-class pantry,
And your time starts
- in three, two, one. - Two, one.
- Go! - Run!
- Run, run! - I'm going.
- Run! - Come on.
Run, run!
Take this, here. Here, here.
- This? - No, no.
[indistinct chatter]
'And very quickly, we picked up things we needed.'
Milk, rice
After that, Saffron.
Cinnamon powder.
Cardamom powder.
Castor sugar.
- Did we get the cinnamon? - In the sachet.
- Where is cinnamon? - Right here.
Shall I take more?
You don't have to bathe here.
You have to cook.
We need the fennel.
Don't get anything else. This is enough.
[dramatic music playing]
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Alright.
[dramatic music playing]
Alright.
Your two minutes are over.
Your 20-minute cooking time starts now. On your mark.
Get. Set.
Take off!
Oh!
[indistinct]
Let's go...
Oh!
Rajiv, we told you to take off.
There should be no crash landing.
Get up. Get up.
[laughs]
Hey!
Why do these things happen to me? I don't get it.
I am such a nice person.
I am always the one who falls.
I have the prints on my back.
[upbeat music playing]
Teju and I have finally decided
that we will make
toasted coconut mocha latte.
We will add coconut to it.
We will add coffee beans to it. We will add chocolate.
These are a lot of strong flavours individually as well.
I once had a drink named Salep in Dubai.
What would we add to a Salep?
What's the famous sweet from Gujarat? Mohanthal.
Salep with Mohanthal.
[suspense music playing]
We both have decided that
we will make kokum bolcha tea.
It has a Maharashtrian element, which is Kokum.
My Korean element is Paleh.
Usha Tai, listen to me.
Now, we are a team here.
I am shouting. I am trying to explain.
I was normally speaking.
But she kept saying 'Stay quiet.'
I fried her brain.
Usha Tai, stay calm.
Don't shout.
Usha Tai, listen to me.
Don't waste your time like this.
I am not passing my time.
Listen. Look behind you.
[fun music playing]
I don't like it.
I don't like wasting time.
Do you know how Archana is?
Add two glasses of water. Let it boil.
What are we doing? What is the environment?
It doesn't matter to her at all.
[imitating noises]
That's all she ever does.
Usha. Archana. Is everything okay?
Madam, she is not listening to me at all.
You are going to learn a few curse words in Marathi.
Usha Tai, listen.
- We are... - Just stop it.
Don't talk.
They really look like a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law.
I was having a lot of fun watching them.
They were arguing like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The mother-in-law keeps scolding.
The daughter-in-law keeps trying to convince her.
That's how they were acting.
Usha Tai, listen to me.
She is definitely your mother-in-law.
I am not Archana from 'Pavitra Rishta'.
[suspense music playing]
She thinks I am the Archana from the daily serial. Do you get it?
She was taking out her frustrations on me.
She is a true mother-in-law. She is 100 per cent a mother-in-law.
Madam, I can't do this.
What happened? Usha, what happened?
She isn't letting me do anything.
Look how much she talks. I am being quiet.
[laughs]
- Where is the pestle? - Here. It is right here.
This is pestle.
Archana. Usha. What is going on?
Why are you fighting like this?
I am asking her to do things quietly.
She keeps laughing at everything.
Archana, be relaxed.
She doesn't have a habit of cooking with someone else.
Just stay calm and try to do it.
- It will be... - Better for us.
Can I leave? Can I leave you both together?
You are not going to burn each other, right?
- No. Definitely not. - Usha.
Don't throw the boiling water at someone.
Usha Tai, you do this.
- This is very fun. - This has to be cut.
Knife. Knife is over there.
[upbeat music playing]
This is good.
We are about to make a Mexican drink.
Its called Horchata.
I want to make that with Punjabi flavours.
The most famous drink in Punjab is Lassi.
- Come and look at this. - Gaurav.
- Yes, madam. - What is going on here?
We are doing a fusion between Punjab and Mexico.
Is it?
[laughs]
Nikki, does the vibe match now?
Not yet.
- Vibe didn't match yet? - Not at all.
I hope they won't serve us poison.
- This is a welcome drink. - Yes.
Who makes well? Who is doing lesser work?
I make well.
- You say something. - No, let her speak.
- No. No. Speak up. - I believe in action.
- She is nice. - I have seen your action.
- She is very nice. - This is an action film.
This action might turn into romance as well.
No. No.
- Not at all. - Maybe. Maybe.
- He is cute. - Nikki, the one who wins after losing...
So, Nikki Khanna. Sorry. Nikki Tamboli.
Madam.
Why not? He is young.
He is successful.
[fun music playing]
[intriguing music playing]
He is healthy. He is well-mannered. Are you rich or not?
[fun music playing]
A little bit? Or a lot?
I will be more rich after the show.
He will be richer after the show.
What more do you need? Tell me.
I don't want any of that.
[laughs]
Pour it. Pour it. Pour it. Good. Good. Good.
Just add this.
A little bit. No, that's more than enough.
It looks amazing. - I know.
I know.
Take it off. Take it off.
Just wait. I know what I am doing.
You need to crush it more.
No, don't make it too sour.
It won't be sour.
Listen to me. We are toasting it.
Usha, do you need any help?
- Shall we help you? - Do you need any help?
Usha Tai, let's toast it.
Come on. Come on. We will be eliminated.
No. No. Go away.
She doesn't learn.
She keeps making the same mistakes.
She should listen to others.
She is young. What more can I say to her?
Just put a tape on my mouth right now.
[suspense music playing]
They are fighting.
How do we make the drink if I don't speak at all?
This is a serious issue now.
Focus here.
Don't get distracted.
Oh my god!
- It's over-fried. - Are you feeding this to me?
I will not drink this.
You won't taste it much. It's not much.
You will definitely taste the flavour.
- What is this? - This is Mohanthal.
We are also making Salep.
Where is this drink from? Gujarat?
There's a famous sweet in Gujarat.
They are combining it to make a drink.
It is a Middle Eastern drink.
He is from Middle East.
And I am from Gujarat.
This is a good combination.
I think that the flavour
of gram flour is still strong.
[bell rings]
Let it be gram flour or any other powder
- we dry roast it. - We dry roast it.
We have to roast it on low flame.
It gives it some time.
It cooks it well from the inside.
It will smell very nice.
It doesn't get burnt.
If it burnt, it will ruin the dish.
Thank you, sir. Thank you, chef.
[upbeat music playing]
That is not hot enough.
Lift it up. Lift it up.
Just wait a minute. Wait a minute.
The dish I wanted to make is breaking apart.
If the disc is not perfect
the entire element of our drink
will be useless.
This will either be an excellent drink
or a flop drink.
What is going on here?
- What are you trying to make? - Drink. Drink.
We are making
toasted coconut mocha latte.
What are you unable to make?
- Basically... - We wanted to
keep the disc of chocolate.
You are unable to make the disc?
- Yes, sir. - Yes.
First of all, take this chocolate away.
Take it off?
This is too hot.
It is way too hot.
Hot chocolate doesn't get set.
Tempered chocolate will set well.
The temperature of the chocolate
should be brought down to our skin's temperature.
Oh! Okay.
That's when it will set.
- Okay. - This is not how we set a chocolate.
You should...
Don't laugh.
Usha Tai.
It isn't coming off.
How can I not laugh at that?
What's there to laugh?
I can't pull it out.
Why don't you add sugar to it?
One teaspoon is enough.
[intense music playing]
It's challenging to tolerate her. We had very little time.
So I made whatever I felt was best.
[intense music playing]
Wow! They are doing this.
Amazing.
- Usha Tai, please bring a glass. - She made it.
[dramatic music playing]
It's the Sugar Candy.
Take this out.
What should I do? Okay, take this.
What's going on?
- Should I call the ambulance? - No, ma'am.
Wow! Archana. Candy floss.
Yes, ma'am.
Are you doing well together?
She laughs at every little thing. This happened...
- Listen. - That happened...
What is this?
- Because of her... - I am stressed out.
I can't take it anymore.
Celebrity Cooks.
Today's twist.
- Twist? - Twist?
Ten minutes have gone and we have ten minutes remaining
for you all to make the welcome drink.
Ten minutes have gone.
Oh my God! The drink I have made.
I have stored it in the fridge. It hasn't chilled yet.
So what we did was...
we poured some ice into it.
Gaurav poured too much ice.
We can put more of this.
- This is going to overflow. - It won't.
Nikki has her own way
to figure out things, whereas I have my own style to do it.
He is putting so much ice on.
But he isn't adding more sugar.
Our drink is going to be tasteless.
At least add some sugar.
I didn't listen to him.
I put some sugar.
Enough! No more.
I am running after Usha Tai.
Because I am busy making the candy floss.
Usha Tai.
Usha Tai took the tea and stored it in the fridge.
Usha Tai! Please listen.
We need hot tea to serve.
This tea.
Why did you store it in the fridge?
- She said to do so. - No.
You are just...
I think everyone is going to make sweet drinks.
The most challenging drink
according to me
is the one that Tejasswi and Dipika are trying to overachieve.
Because they are overachievers and they are together.
Alright, Celebrity Cooks.
The last five minutes.
[tense music playing]
As soon as I knew five minutes are left,
I asked Abhijeet to work on the glass.
Then, I coated the glass
with sugar, chilli and salt.
We will get to know in five minutes
which two contestants among you
are out of the immunity pin race.
You have not started the plating yet.
We are worried.
[tense music playing]
It's the last five minutes. We are quite nervous.
We are still not done with all the ingredients.
We have no idea what we can do.
This has coconut oil. It can't be frozen.
[tense music playing]
I was quite nervous.
The path Gaurav is taking me on,
I don't really know if it's safe
or dangerous for us.
We need three here. There's one extra.
- There's four inside, right? - Yes.
No, just sprinkle it.
Wait a second, I know what I'm doing.
No, just sprinkle it!
Maybe her choices do not match with mine.
But when we're in one team with the blue apron,
we're not Nikki and Gaurav.
We're Team Blue.
I fear I might get eliminated trying to accommodate his vibes.
I'm very scared.
Only add as much as we need.
[tense music]
I need the saffron.
- I need to taste it first. - Where's the saffron?
Let me taste it!
There's the saffron.
Celebrity cooks!
Last one minute.
Finish your plating.
Clean your counter. And we're done.
[clock ticking]
[tense music]
There's no time and a lot of pressure.
Pressure's building up a lot.
You know with these last minute things
it's much more nerve wracking.
I hope the colour is right.
Last ten seconds.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
- Five. - Four.
- Three. - Two.
One!
Woah!
Time's up, step back!
We've made it.
I have no idea.
Oh Lord Ganpati!
Time's up, step back!
Let's see how well your stardom fares!
- This was insane. - Oh God!
You were about to drop it.
So much stress!
Alright. Celebrity cooks, time for tasting.
The first pair to welcome us
with welcome drinks
is Usha Tai and Archana.
Come on.
We were the first ones to be called up.
We were shocked
to see that we were being
called first.
I thought they called us up because we were fighting.
- What have you made? - Kokum boricha.
I'm guessing Boricha is the Korean part.
- And Kokum is the... - Maharashtrian side.
And why is the candy floss here?
Ma'am, it's a bit sweet
and sour. When it all comes together,
it will enhance the flavour.
Alright. Shall we try?
It's looking beautiful.
But whenever candy floss is served,
I like it if it's sprinkled with something on top.
[tense music]
Let's see what magic your drink creates.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Cheers.
We're worried.
What will they say? Will they yell at us?
What is this?
[tense music]
What will happen? I look over at Usha Tai.
If my drink is not good,
she will eat me alive, I swear.
"I told you not to add it!"
"You kept on insisting!"
Usha Tai
had told me to whisper it to her
if it tastes bad.
[tense music]
[squealing]
We got so happy! As old as I am, I was
still dancing!
Too good!
Thank you, ma'am! Tai!
[pleasant music]
Hey! Hey!
I feel Archana's laughter
has added some extra flavour to this.
It's outstanding!
Archana, laugh as much as you want to!
Keep laughing.
- It's your day. - Yum!
There's such smoothness to the drink
- that you want to keep drinking. - Woo!
[applause]
Coming to the dish,
the most beautiful thing about
the Korean barley tea is its nuttiness.
That toasty flavour that you get
after toasting it,
adding a Maharashtrian zing to it
- by adding the kokum, - Truly!
then adding that slight sweetness
to the kokum juice,
to balance the kokum.
On one hand, there's the nuttiness,
then the sourness of kokum, then the sweetness to balance it.
This is so good that Koreans
should visit Maharashtra to taste this.
- I think so too. Really good. - Very well done.
This means sometimes fighting is good.
Of course!
Whose brainchild is this?
We made a drink first
which was cooking way too much.
I said this doesn't taste like we want.
Tai said we might get disgraced in front of everyone.
I said to Tai that we should wait for it to be done first.
- Always... - We made a second one.
Then I made a second one.
Because we were done a long time ago.
- We were done. - Who made the second one then?
Tai, she did good.
I added a bit too much spice to the first one.
I told her it would be too much.
But she kept insisting.
Tai, you ground the spices!
I did it because you asked!
But you didn't have to grind so much.
You know, you two have proved us wrong.
We always say
that you should cook with laughter and happiness
but now we must say you should cook as you fight.
[laughing]
Very nice.
Usha Tai, you have to laugh like Archana, at least once.
[laughing]
I think you two should be made
permanent partners.
Alright. The next drink
will be from Abhijeet and Kabita.
The drink looks good.
It tastes good too.
I hope that our drink is good
and we get better comments from the judges.
I am a bit tense.
- What was your combination? - West Bengal and Thailand.
- What have you made? - We have made butterfly tea
along with pomelo juice
with mint flavour.
Butterfly tea is commonly used in India.
It originated here.
- Oh. - It's mentioned in Ayurveda.
- Shall we? - Yes, ma'am.
[tense music]
Wow.
You're pouring it so professionally.
Do you work as a bartender at night?
With our welcome drink,
we planned for it to change colour
as we poured it.
Abhijeet, please show us the first one.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
[tense music]
Have you tasted this?
- A little bit. - A little bit?
All the colour drained from their faces.
That's the reaction I can sense here.
- Hey. - Lemon?
- We should've removed the lemon. - Maybe.
It's fine.
[tense music]
When Chef Ranveer
squeezed lemon into it
and it got its exact colour,
we realised that
we should've used the lemon like this.
I think this is the colour transition you wanted.
When the blue turns into pink.
The thing is,
when we make a dish that has a dramatic flair,
we have a responsibility to deliver the drama.
You kept the shot glass,
banged the table, it fell in.
Now the person eating has expectations
that something's going to happen.
Right?
Then the responsibility to deliver it doubles.
That expectation was not delivered.
[tense music]
It's basically gola sherbet.
If you'd given me that, I'd have asked him to give me more
because it's just coloured water now.
[tense music]
As we say in the film industry, the trailer was a super hit
but the movie flopped.
Next welcome drink belongs to Tejasswi and Dipika.
I am just hoping
that the drinks come out
exactly as we want it to and that the judges like it.
What have you two made?
We have made toasted coconut and pepper mocha latte.
[pleasant music]
Best of luck, guys.
As soon as the judges taste the drink,
my heart starts beating fast.
Is this ganache?
Yes.
We expected that
it would melt as the coffee was poured in but it didn't.
- In life, you have expectations. - Yeah.
I skipped a heartbeat the moment I heard that.
What if we made a mistake?
Okay. The idea
- Beautiful. - was 10/10.
[pleasant music]
This dish has an interesting, festive consistency and look.
How does a usual coffee plantation look?
Lined with coconut trees and the coffee plantations below.
And there's pepper growing
on the coconut trees.
So, the thought is very nice.
Grows together, goes together.
It grows together so it can go on a plate together.
I wish I could say the same about the execution.
The ganache has turned to stone.
Are the textures landing on that level? No.
Girls, I can't drink it.
You were told to make a drink.
I can eat this.
Which is good but that won't be fair
since I'm supposed to drink it.
I'm super nervous. I feel that
we might get disqualified on the basis that
the drink is not even a drink.
I'm shocked that two of our best cooks
together...
Had the best idea.
Had the best idea
but it was not the best dish.
[tense music]
Now we'll call upon our show's love-hate couple.
Gaurav and Nikki, please come.
[applause]
Our hearts are beating very fast.
I'm scared and I don't even have my luck today.
God knows what will happen. Let's see.
We have tried to bring
Punjab and Mexico together in this drink.
We have tried to give horchata a Punjabi twist.
Horchata?
- Made with rice? - Rice, yes.
It's a Spanish and Latin American drink
made with dry fruits or rice.
As soon as Farah ma'am takes a sip,
her face goes blank.
I thought I was done for.
This guy has brought us down.
The thing that is bothersome for me
that this is a fun drink, there's the creaminess of the rice.
You know, nowadays
we are trying to find alternatives to milk across the world,
Right? Because of lactose intolerance.
That's why, such drinks are getting quite popular.
Made with rice,
or seed-based milks
- as well. - Correct.
This is good on that front.
But the taste for me is like
drinking milk straight from a tetra pack.
Even the drama of the cinnamon
could not elevate the dish.
Look, with Horchata
rice is soaked overnight
which increases fermentation
and then it is ground.
Then you add some water to it.
It is then added over ice with
a tiny bit of sugar.
When rice gets cooked, its character is changed.
Then it turns to firni.
So this is neither Horchata nor something else.
It's stuck in between.
Thank you.
I felt really bad that
Gaurav led to our downfall.
Let's call the friendship saga.
Come on then.
Faisu and Rajiv.
[applause]
What have you made, Rajiv?
Today, we have made Mohanthal sahlab.
Sahlab is a traditional drink from Dubai.
And Mohanthal is a traditional sweet from Gujarat.
- From Gujarat? - Yes, Gujarat.
We've mixed them to make Mohanthal sahlab.
[tense music]
The most interesting thing about this
- is that the sweetness is properly balanced. - Yeah.
The idea of roasted besan,
which I had completely dismissed,
- I was scared by it. - It would never work.
I feel that
it still has a very strong flavour of besan.
That is working well here.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
I think the problem with this drink is its temperature.
The dish would've been elevated by 50% if you had presented
- this drink as a hot drink. - Hot drink, yes.
The drink does not have a nose. Do you know what a nose means?
It does not have a smell, an aroma.
The ghee could've provided
a little nose. The besan would've given a better nose.
The rose could've been added more.
It would've improved the drink's nose.
[tense music]
Thank you, sir.
Alright. Celebrity cooks, time for results.
As we'd said, today,
the pair to make the weakest drink of the day
would be out of the race for the immunity pin.
[sighs]
I want to win the immunity pin
but I don't know how to.
My only fear is getting kicked out of the race for the immunity pin.
I want that immunity pin.
I am praying
that we stay in the race.
You will join Chandan up there.
Please, come. I am missing you.
- Whoever it is. - We're not missing you.
I am getting bored here.
[laughter]
If the best dish would get immunity pin today,
then it would be yours,
Archana and her mother-in-law.
But that's not the challenge today.
Today's challenge is disqualification
from the race for immunity pin.
Sadly, the weakest drink today
belonged to Abhijeet and Kabita.
It's as if a huge mountain crashed on my head.
What has happened?
For a second, I thought were we really that bad?
You will go and meet your friend Chandan.
Sorry.
- Come on. - Bye, guys.
I am feeling very sorry for Abhijeet.
And I'm feeling sorry for Kabita as well.
Because she's a chef.
She didn't deserve to go to the balcony.
When we talk about food, we mention food and drinks.
The drinks are done. Let's talk about food now.
[dramatic music]
- Are you guys ready? - Yes, sir.
Here's your next challenge.
The first challenge has just ended
and we had just begun to take a sigh of relief
when challenge number two was presented.
You have to make a fusion of your two destinations
and serve on your plate.
And the plate must be MasterChef-level great.
Obviously there's a twist here.
- Oh. - God!
Each one of you
has to make individual dishes.
Meaning every pair will make two dishes.
- Okay. - Clear?
- Yes. - Yes.
You will get 90 minutes.
And you will get five minutes at the start
to think about your dish and ideate.
Then the MasterChef's world-class pantry
will be open only for five minutes.
But that has a twist too.
Only one team member
can go into the pantry to get the ingredients.
- Oh! - What?
That's a shot.
Oh, man!
When I heard that I looked at Usha Tai
and she was already hitting her head.
There we go!
Alright. Your five minutes for ideation
where you can decide what to make have already started.
Come on!
Come on.
Come on, guys!
I'll enter from here.
- I'll get some of everything. - Yes, get everything.
We both decide
that Teju will go and get
everything from the pantry.
Pistachio, tamarind, and fennel seeds.
- Bell peppers. Done. - Everything, yes.
Then that's done as well.
- Herbs. - Write that down.
- Besan. - We need besan.
Kabita, what do you think?
Everyone will do good.
Oh, you're so boring!
[laughing]
- Which chillies did you say? - Green ones?
No, the other one.
- A box of gochugaru. - Yes, gochugaru.
Celebrity cooks, your five minutes of ideation are now over.
On the count of three,
put your pens and paper down.
Three, two, one.
And now, MasterChef's world-class pantry
will open only for five minutes.
Whoever's going in there, please raise your hands.
Tejasswi, Nikki,
Rajiv, and Archana.
Alright.
your five minutes inside
MasterChef's world-class pantry
- starts in... - Three.
Two, one. Go!
Go, go! Go, guys!
- Fast, Rajiv! - Go, Archana!
Okay, first rack.
- Tamarind. Chillies. - I've got the chillies.
- Teju, eggs. - Done.
We're quite in sync right now.
Nikki, get everything!
In line. Lime! Get the capsicum.
I know!
Go, Rajiv!
Besan, flour, garlic.
I can't even see Archana.
I can't see Archana!
Tai cannot see Archana.
Usha Tai, check where she is.
I can't see her. Where is she hiding?
Is she eating something in there?
Archana, get the carrots and radish.
Napa cabbage!
Shout it out, Tai!
She has to get the Napa...
Napa, whatever it's called,
She can't remember it.
Tai had told me to get some English cabbage,
I don't remember which one it was.
It looks like lettuce. I can't remember the name.
She kept telling me to get it.
"You have to pick that up!"
Teju, don't waste time! Next rack!
- Maida! - Just wait!
Get the ingredients here, I'll check them.
Archana, coconut cream!
Get the ingredients! Come on!
I am going back! I am going back!
Rajiv, you need a taxi.
Oh, man!
I go and stand outside the pantry.
Did you fall inside?
I feel like Tai is going to go inside.
"What are you doing in there?"
She kept asking to go. So, she can be in there.
If we go down, it'll be the both of us.
Yes!
Last ten seconds.
- Archana, did you get the eggs? - Ten, nine,
- Eggs! - eight,
- I can't find the eggs! - seven, six,
- I can't find them. - four,
- Eggs! Where are the eggs? - three, two,
- They're there. - one. That's it!
- The eggs are finished. - Archana, out.
She's dancing in there.
This is wrong!
Sir, there were no eggs left.
Give it to me.
No, Tai. I'll get them.
[laughter]
Celebrity cooks.
Alright. The 90 minutes for your cooking
will start on get,
- set, cook! - Set, cook!
