The Celebrity MasterChef kitchen turned into a battlefield of flavors as finale week continued with fierce energy. Tejasswi Prakash, Nikki Tamboli, Gaurav Khanna, Rajiv Adatia, and Faisu walked into the challenge zone, knowing every move could bring them closer to the title. This time, Chef Saransh Goila arrived with a challenge that demanded risk, creativity, and heart. The energy in the studio felt electric, but there was a wave of warmth too, as former contestants Abhijeet Sawant, Usha Nadkarni, and Archana Gautam showed up to cheer them on. Their presence added memories and encouragement, making the intense cook-off feel a little more personal.
Among all, it was Faisu who grabbed the spotlight with a dish no one expected. He served chicken pate mousse, but with an Indian twist. He paired it with ghevar, that classic Rajasthani dessert, and took it up a notch by adding smoke. It wasn’t just a dish, it was a performance. The moment the plate hit the judges’ table, the room went still.
The judges leaned in, curious. Farah Khan couldn’t stop smiling. She was the first to react, calling it “Mr. Ghevar 07” in her trademark humorous style. She tapped her fork on the table, her quirky sign of approval and gave Faisu a look that said he had nailed it.
Ranveer Brar looked at the dish with admiration. He told Faisu, “Your presentation is absolutely justified. Visually, it is a very good-looking plate.” His words lit up Faisu’s face. But it wasn’t just about looks. The smoky layers of flavor caught everyone’s attention.
Vikas Khanna, though mostly pleased, did notice one flaw. He felt the color of the mousse could have been better. Still, he didn’t hold back on appreciation. He made an unexpected remark that raised the stakes. “If Saransh likes this dish, it might get introduced in his menu across all 110 restaurants.”
All eyes turned to Chef Saransh Goila. He took a bite, nodded thoughtfully, then smiled. He loved it. Especially the smoky flavour, a bold choice that paid off. His approval made Faisu beam with pride.
Then came the biggest moment of the evening. Farah Khan stood up. She tapped her fork again, louder this time, and declared, “If you sell this chicken pate mousse in cans, you’ll become a millionaire.” The judges had cleaned their plates, a rare sight that meant only one thing. Faisu’s dish had hit the mark in every way.
Meanwhile, Rajiv Adatia brought his signature dessert energy to the table. He decided to make a wedding-themed three-tier cake. His goal was to bring romance, celebration, and color through every layer. He used advanced piping techniques to create the visuals. But when the cake was presented, something felt off. The finishing didn’t meet the mark.
The flavors told one story, the presentation told another. Farah Khan, always quick with wit, gave her verdict. “Shaadi toot jayegi aisa wedding cake dekhke.” The room burst into laughter.
Despite the criticism, the taste of the cake saved the day. Each tier brought something new. The balance of flavors impressed Ranveer and Vikas. They appreciated his ability to deliver complexity through taste, even if the design needed work.
The journey to the finale only gets more intense from here but today belonged to Faisu and his smoky, bold masterpiece.
