Master
Chef
India
in
Star
Plus
started
its
journey
with
thousands
of
contestants
queuing
up
to
show
off
their
culinary
talents.
Among
the
thousand
only
12
contestants
were
short
listed
for
the
MasterChef
Kitchen
by
the
three
judges
of
the
show
Bollywood
superstar
Akshay
Kumar,
Chef
Kunal
Kapoor
and
Chef
Ajay
Chopra.
After
fighting
out
for
so
many
weeks
the
show
has
finally
got
its
three
finalists
in
the
form
of
Chef
Pankaj
Bhadouria,
Chef
Jayanandan
Bhaskar
and
Chef
Radhicka
Agarwaal.
Starting
from
scratch,
these
three
contestants
have
showed
off
their
excellent
culinary
skills
in
the
Master
Chef
kitchen
and
in
other
outdoor
challenges
and
have
earned
the
title
'Chef" for
their
names.
Pankaj
was
the
first
finalist
to
get
the
Chef
coat
on
Saturday"s
episode
after
winning
the
challenge
of
preparing
food
for
50
passengers
of
an
International
flight.
The
38
year
old
professional
teacher
from
Lucknow,
left
her
16
year
old
job
to
pursue
her
dream
through
Master
Chef.
On
Saturday"s
challenge,
she
prepared
Bengali
cuisine,
which
was
voted
the
best
dish
among
others.
On
Sunday,
the
challenge
was
between
the
rest
four
contestants
Radhicka,
Jayanandan,
Joe
Bath
and
Kandla
Nijhowne.
Each
of
them
was
asked
to
prepare
their
signature
dishes,
which
received
best
appreciation
from
the
judges.
Everyone
put
their
best
as
they
knew
it
was
their
last
chance
to
reach
their
goal.
Radhicka"s
dish
was
selected
to
be
the
best
one
of
the
day
and
she
became
the
second
Chef
to
compete
for
the
'Master
Chef"
position.
Kandla,
the
eldest
contestant,
was
out
and
she
left
happily
with
the
golden
memories,
which
she
will
cherish
throughout
her
life.
The
final
fight
of
the
episode
was
between
Jayanandan
and
Joe,
which
was
a
very
close
contest
as
per
the
three
judges.
But,
Pankaj
came
out
as
the
third
Chef
because
of
the
simplicity
and
flavor
in
his
food.
Now,
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
who
gets
the
first
'Master
Chef
India"
title
in
the
next
week"s
grand
finale
episode!
