These Desi Chefs Took Household Recipes From India To The Global MasterChef Kitchen

It feels amazing when you see an authentic Indian dish being introduced on a foreign platform and the judges being mesmerized by the same. Recently Sarah Todds, a celebrity chef, inspired by her last trip introduced the judges to Rajasthan’s famous and authentic Laal Maas recipe in MasterChef Australia and the judges are loving it. Over the 14 years of the show, these Indian origin chefs have actually taken authentic Indian recipes on Global MasterChef’s Kitchen and we feel so proud. 

Justin Narayan

Justin Narayan’s unique Indian-Fijian and unusual take on the dishes made him the winner of MasterChef Australia season 14. He was consistent in bringing Indian flavours to the table. It was evident in dishes like Indian chicken tacos, dal bhaat, and chicken jalfrezi how gifted he was in the kitchen and how creative he was with Indian food.

Dalwinder Dhami

She was one of the contestants in season 4 and also the first Indian to be selected on MasterChef Australia. It was her ability to merge Singaporean cuisine with North Indian tadkas that earned her a reputation for her dishes like pineapple and tomato jam pork served with egg dumplings and Jazadalv’s chicken curry. George Calombaris said it was the best curry he had ever tasted.

Rishi Desai 

He was one of the contestants in season 5 and was known as the Muscle man. He brought in the touches of his Kolhapuri roots and impressed everyone with his skills. He presented dishes like Mughlai spatchcock with aloo gobi and pear chutney; butter quail with butter naan and Sichuan dumplings with soy sauce caramel.
