MasterChef India – Hindi (or colloquially MasterChef Hindi; formerly MasterChef India) is an Indian Hindi-language competitive cooking reality television series based on MasterChef Australia and is part of MasterChef India.[1] The series features amateur and home chefs competing to win the title of 'MasterChef'.[2] The current line-up of judges consists of Vikas Khanna, Pooja Dhingra, and Ranveer Brar.[3]

Format

MasterChef is based on the Australian series MasterChef. The competition takes place in the MasterChef soundstage located in Mumbai, India which includes a large kitchen area with several cooking stations which is overlooked by a balcony, a well-stocked pantry, a freezer/fridge area and a fine-dining restaurant/seating dining area room used for certain challenges.

While the particular format of the season has slightly varied over the years, the following challenges have all been regularly featured:

  • Skills Test: Cooks are challenged to perform a list of common cooking techniques or styles, or to replicate a particular cooking method of a dish (i.e. steaks done to an exact wellness). This type of test is also sometimes used as an Elimination Test.
  • Mystery Box: Cooks are given a box with the same ingredients and they must use only those ingredients to create a dish within a fixed amount of time. The judges will select three dishes based on visual appearance, its taste and how well the contestants have used the given ingredient. The person who fulfils these three criteria will gain an advantage.
  • Elimination Test: After the challenge is explained, judges evaluate all dishes based on taste and visual appeal. The judges give feedback of every dish and nominate the least pleasant dish for elimination.
  • Team Challenge: The cooks are split into teams by either team captains or the judges. These challenges take place in a restaurant or pop-up restaurant taking the place of the staff of a particular restaurant. Guests taste both meals and vote for their favorite. The winning team advances, while the losing team will participate in the Pressure Test or face elimination based on the teams' performance.
  • Pressure Test: Another form of the Elimination Test, in which losing team members compete against each other to make a standard dish within a very limited amount of time that requires a great degree of cooking finesse. Each dish is judged on taste, visual appeal and technique, and the losing chef is eliminated.

Once the competition is reduced the finalists will compete against each other in a three-course cook-off. All courses of the meal are judged and an overall winner is crowned. The winner of seventh season won ₹ 25,00,000, a MasterChef trophy, and the title of MasterChef. Some seasons have also added other prizes such as a cookbook deal.
