The Top 12 home cooks of Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV’s “MasterChef India” are on the sunny shores of Goa facing a variety of interesting new tasks. Chefs Ranveer Brar, Vikas Khanna, and Garima Arora, our judges, are standing by with exciting challenges to put the contestants through their paces and are evaluating them on the criteria of TIP (Taste, Innovation, and Presentation).

Vineet Yadav, a resident of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – “the capital city of Tunde Kebabs” is an artist in his own right, both in and out of the kitchen. When he is not concentrating on adding the appropriate number of masalas to his cuisine, he keeps himself busy by applying mehndi and nail paint to customers. On Friday, January 27th, Vineet said goodbye to MasterChef India after failing to impress the judges with his dishes during the pressure test at the St. Regis resort in Goa.

Vineet Yadav speaking about his time on the show shares, “Thank you, Masterchef India, for the chance to share my culinary creativity with the world. My understanding of cooking has expanded tremendously. I’ll always look back on these lovely times with fondness.”
