Chef Ranveer Brar has shared his love for biryani and also praised ‘MasterChef India’ contestant Suvarna Bagul for her special preparation of mutton biryani. Ranveer said: “I can finish the entire plate of this biryani.”
Sharing his love for biryani and talking about the challenges in preparing it, Ranveer said: “Cooking biryani takes time as it requires the juices of the meat to perfectly blend with the rice. Before the home cooks began making biryani, the one thing I asked them was to keep in mind that there are the 3Ts – temperature, technique, and trust.”
Appreciating the taste of the home chefs’ dishes, Ranveer said: “Suvarna’s biryani was comforting, it reminded me of home. She also discussed with us how every other Sunday, she makes biryani for her family and friends when they have a get-together. That feeling of coming together and enjoying food was present in Suvarna’s dish.

Celebrity chef Vikas Khanna said that cooking depends a lot on intention and what lies in the mind of a cook while preparing any dish. Asserting that if the intention is to feed others good food, then for sure the meal will be delicious and tempting, he found a similar taste in the dish prepared by Suvarna Bagul of Maharashtra.
During the ‘MasterChef India’ show, the contestants were asked to prepare Arabic cuisine and Suvarna decided to prepare ‘Tagine Ghavran Mutton with Zaatar Kulcha’ which is famous in Abu Dhabi in the ‘Black Apron’ test. However, she kept the taste and recipe authentic; she also merged with the flavours of Marathi spices. Thus, creating a fusion of Marathi and Arabic flavour.
While praising her, Vikas said: “Neeyat hai toh barkat hai, aapki neeyat hai khilaane ki aur wo neeyat aapke haathon ko barkat deti hai.”

Mumbai, March 6 (Ians) Celebrity chef Ranveer Brar was in awe of Haryana’s Gurkirat Singh’s special preparation of ‘Qatayef with Cinnamon Tea’. The Qatayef is a dessert dish, and the Chefs were amazed at how well it combines with cinnamon tea because typically, desserts do not go well with sweet beverages.
Ranveer said: “I was surprised by the idea of Gurkirat’s dish which was having two sweeteners together on the plate- a dessert and tea. It was a better decision to present us with Gurkirat’s dish than Nayanjyoti Saikia because his chicken was burnt. The Qatayef and the cinnamon tea blended harmoniously. The tea was light, and the spice of the cinnamon balanced out the sweetness of the Qatayef.”

Celebrity chef Ranveer Brar, who will be seen on the panel of judges along with chefs Vikas Khanna and Garima Arora, got candid about his relationship with food. He thinks that Indian cuisine has been way “ahead of its times” and that one must have Khichdi and Kathiyawadi Kadhi once in their lifetime.
He said: “I have always batted for regional cuisines and home and street food. It excites me every time to see what new innovations and interpretations I might see on the plate. That’s what we have looked for in previous seasons and will look for in this one too. I think this season is extremely focused on contestants’ growth and input towards the same. I feel it’s a very special season going by the immense talent we have, especially to see the huge jump in their quality post-pandemic. That’s what makes it special and exciting.
