Avinash Patnaik (32) who is a Ph.D. student who specializes in Horticulture and hails from Bhubaneshwar presented his dish ‘Traditional Dessert- Gaintha Pitha’.
Avinash revealed that he wanted to take agriculture and cooking to another level and hence created dishes that are a blend of both. Avinash’s dish was flavored with pandan leaves and served with coral jasmine-infused milk and Indian almonds. Most of these ingredients were grown by Avinash, and the elements added to the dish were added by edible flowers. After tasting his dish, all three judges were quite impressed with his cuisine and applauded his presentation of the dish as well.
The judges handed their last apron of the episode to him and Avinash became the first contestant who got a direct entry into MasterChef India’s kitchen.
The seventh season of Masterchef India has returned after a hiatus of two years, and it promises a lot more than entertainment.
