Today’s episode begins with the host saying only ten seconds are left. He starts the countdown and Anupama arrives just in time.
Vasundhara and Gautam are shocked. The host asks Anupama and Digvijay if everything is fine. He then asks Manpreet if she feels Anupama’s late arrival could be part of some strategy.
Anupama Refuses to Seek Sympathy
Manpreet says she never expected this from Anupama. Anupama says she has a reason for arriving late but she does not want to tell everyone and take sympathy. Manpreet says she has already taken attention.
Anupama says if she had arrived even one second later she would not have been able to participate in the competition. She says why would she risk her chance of winning just for a little attention.
Sikandar agrees and asks Manpreet what Anupama will gain from this attention. The host asks the judges who they think will win today.
Sikandar says the competition is tough and answering this question is difficult. Manpreet says both teams are equal and anything is possible. Roy says May the best team win.
Anupama and Prem Meet as Family
Anupama says Digvijay it took so much time to visit the doctor. She says that the medicine given by the doctor has still not worked and her taste buds have not returned to normal.
Digvijay tells Anupama to have patience and trust God. The host says relationships have their own place and competition has its own place. He says the truth cannot change that they are each other’s family even though they have become rival teams in the competition.
He asks them to forget their rivalry for a moment and meet as one family.
Anupama Blesses Prem
Anupama says God will decide who wins or loses. She says for her he will always be the best chef. She blesses Prem. Shurti says Anupama to stop pretending. She says no one gives blessings to their rival in a competition.
Anupama says just because someone blesses someone does not mean the lines of your fate will disappear from your hands.
Prem wishes Anupama all the best.Both teams shake hands with each other
Gautam Threatens Toshu
Gautam asks Toshu to come aside. He grabs Toshu by the throat and says Toshu lied to him. Toshu says he had made Anupama eat the snack and that the chemical has done its work. He says Anupama cannot taste anything.
Gautam says if the judges find out about this Anupama could be removed from the competition. Gautam says he will reveal this truth at the right time.
Manpreet Targets Anupama
The judges discuss the situation. Roy tells Manpreet she is judging Anupama too harshly for arriving late. He asks what Anupama would gain from coming late.
Sikandar says it is actually Anupama’s loss. He says a team can easily panic in such a situation. Manpreet says there cannot be a problem with Anupama every single time.
The Grand Finale Begins
Later Manpreet says that in the grand finale the competition will only be between the captains. She tells both teams can help their captains but they cannot help with cooking. They can only help with chopping and other work.
Sikandar says their first task will take them towards the world of the aroma of spices. He says spices have a special place in Indian kitchens. He says an Indian kitchen is like a small dispensary. He says even the cure for a severe illness a mother finds in her kitchen.
Anupama agrees with Sikandar. She says Ayurveda is very Important and in the famous Ayurvedic text Charaka Samhita there is a Rasayana section related to treatment. She says as people are becoming more modern they are slowly forgetting the foundation of their traditions.
Anupama and Prem Face the Grand Finale Task
Roy says today they will make a Baahubali Thali. He says this task sounds easier than it actually is. He says the teams will not only have to give the dishes good taste but also explain their meaning.
He says they will have to explain the reason behind every dish its benefits and importance. He also says he will give them ingredients they must include in their dishes.
The Judge Makes the Challenge Difficult
Anupama and Prem begin cooking. Roy says the basic ingredients have already been given to them but every few minutes a new ingredient will arrive at their table.
They will have to immediately use each new ingredient in their dishes. Leela asks how this will be possible. She says when a person makes something they think carefully before making it so how can someone suddenly come and ask them to add something new?
Hansmukh says judges always make everything difficult.
Anupama and Prem Get a Shocking Twist
Sikandar says that according to Ayurveda there are six tastes in the kitchen Bitter, Sweet, Sour, Salty, Spicy and Astringent. He says these six tastes are hidden in the spices they have been given.
Manpreet says at the start they will not even get salt or sugar. Roy says they have to use every ingredient given to them. If they do not use an ingredient points will be cut.
Anupama and Prem receive their first ingredient bitter gourd. Anupama thinks she has never heard of karela being used in a Maharashtrian thali.Prem also says karela is usually not part of a thali.
Anupama Gets Worried
Anupama worries if her sense of taste does not return how will she check the bitterness of the karela while cooking?
She wonders how she will know whether the dish has become too bitter. Anupama Remembers How She Cooked Without Tasting. Digvijay tells Anupama to relax. He says if there is anyone in the world who can do this it is her.
Anupama says if she makes even one mistake the entire thali could be ruined. Digvijay says fate does not have the courage to overturn Anupama’s plate. He tells her to remember how she cooked the last time without tasting the food.
Anupama Finds a Solution
Anupama gets a flashback of how she had cooked karela earlier. She says she had a fever at that time and tasting karela could have made her health worse.
She says she cooked it without tasting it. She decides to boil the karela with turmeric and lemon juice. In the present Anupama says she has had a relationship with the kitchen for years.
She says now it is time for the kitchen to fulfil this relationship. She says she has made a vow of hard work and dedication.
Digvijay Encourages Anupama
Digvijay says when people fall they often do not have the courage to get back up. But He says if she falls she does not want to simply get back up she wants to have the courage to fly.
Anupama and Prem Begin Cooking
The host asks Anupama and Prem to start cooking and begins the timer. Anupama and Prem start cooking. Khyati says Prem will be able to make the food but how will he explain the qualities and benefits of the food apart from its taste?
Rahi tells Khyati to help Prem because Anupama already knows everything. Anupama and Prem receive their second ingredient jaggery. Prem asks Khyati to soak the jaggery in water they can make peanut chikki with jaggery. Rahi explains the health benefits of jaggery.
Anupama says she will not make a separate dish with jaggery. She says jaggery will become part of her dish and will be the main hero of it. She says eating ghee and jaggery helps reduce tiredness, increases blood and makes the skin glow.
Leela Praises Anupama’s Cooking Skills
The third ingredients Anupama and Prem receive are mango and tamarind. Vasundhara says the judges are giving them easy ingredients in the beginning so that they can trap them later.She says that tamarind is good for the heart
The host then asks everyone to get ready for the next ingredients. Anupama and Prem receive red and green chillies. Anupama smells the chilli.
Leela praises Anupama’s skill and says her knowledge about chillies can be seen just by watching her. She says Anupama can understand how spicy a chilli is by its smell.
She says the seeds of green chilli contain the heat so Anupama can understand how spicy the chilli will be.
Gautam Makes a Move Against Anupama
Digvijay says just by watching Anupama people can learn a lot. Kinjal says when it comes to this matter every housewife is a professor.
Toshu tells Pakhi that Anupama is cooking as if nothing has happened to her. Pakhi asks if he has told Gautam that Anupama has lost her sense of taste. Toshu says Gautam has said he will reveal the truth at the right time.
Precap: Anupama and Prem receive the final ingredients sugar and salt. Kinjal tells Digvijay that Anupama cannot taste the ingredients even they cannot help her.
Anupama becomes worried and wonders what will happen if she makes a mistake with the salt or sugar and the dish gets ruined. The final countdown begins.
