Round 1: The Mystery Box Challenge
The episode kicks off with the Mystery Box Challenge, where contestants were presented with a set of unusual ingredients, including jackfruit, quinoa, and tamarind. The challenge was to create a dish that not only tasted great but also showcased the unique combination of these ingredients. The contestants were seen brainstorming ideas and quickly getting to work under the watchful eyes of the judges.
Chef Ravi, known for his innovative twists, surprised everyone with his jackfruit and quinoa biryani, which received praise for its flavor balance. Meanwhile, contestant Meena struggled with incorporating tamarind into her dish, resulting in a slightly off-balance flavor profile. The judges appreciated her effort but noted the need for better execution.
Round 2: The Dupe Cook Challenge
The second round featured the much-anticipated Dupe Cook Challenge, where contestants had to recreate a classic dish from a top restaurant. This time, the chosen dish was the iconic “Prawn Malai Curry” from a renowned five-star hotel. The twist? They had to replicate it with a vegetarian twist.
The contestants were visibly nervous as they worked with substitutes like paneer and coconut cream to mimic the rich flavors of the original dish. Chef Suresh’s version, using smoked tofu, was a standout, earning him accolades from the judges for its innovative approach and taste. However, contestant Anita’s version, using cauliflower, fell short of expectations, with the judges commenting on the lack of depth in flavor.
Elimination Twist

Meena redeemed herself with a delectable coconut and jaggery payasam, securing her spot in the competition. Unfortunately, Anita’s dessert failed to impress, leading to her elimination from the show.
