Celebrity MasterChef: Gaurav Khanna nails the prawn curry despite suffering from colour blindness; Vikas Khanna says 'one of your best dishes so far'

Celebrity MasterChef is the first reality show to feature severe cooking competitions between celebrities. Well, since the show began broadcasting, it has generated quite a buzz. As the days pass, the celebrity participants face tremendous trials that must be mastered in order to stay in the game. The recent episode introduced Ayesha Jhulka as the new wildcard contestant on the show.
With the new challenge, the celebrity chefs had to make a solid dish inspired by the classic drinks. Gaurav was given a guava drink from which he had to make either savoury or sweet dish. Gaurav chose to prepare a prawn curry with Guava's traditional curry. As he has mentioned earlier, the actor is vegetarian now and he has left meat. So while preparing prawns he had to only judge by the look of the dish and not the taste.
He said, "Mujhe pata nai kaise ban raha hai. Sirf colour se karna hai lekin problem yeh hai ki mei colour blind hu. Kahi log jante hai aur kahi log nai jante yeh baat ko. Yeh hoh gaya hai kya. Mei khata nai hu prawns."
Gaurav Khanna revealed that he is colour-blind. While preparing a prawn curry, he candidly shared his challenge in assessing the dish's appearance due to his condition. He mentioned, "Kuch log jante hain ki mujhe colour blindness ka problem hai" (Some people know that I have a colour blindness problem). Despite this obstacle, Gaurav has been impressing both judges and viewers with his culinary skills and determination.

His dish was one of the best dishes of the day and received a lot of praise from the judges. Chef Vikas Khanna even said, 'This is one of your best dishes so far in the kitchen.'
