If you happen to watch MasterChef Australia, you would have known that a Delhi-born chef, Depinder Chhibber, has been making quite an impression on judges with his unique dishes.?
Just two weeks back, she "absolutely stunned" the judges -?Jock Zonfrillo,?Melissa Leong and Andy Allen -? when she cooked "chhole," "parantha" and "kadhai paneer."?
If that was not enough impressive, Chhibber has just raised the bar again with a dish that vouches for her inventiveness - green curry cake with chocolate chilli Ganache and coconut ice-cream. She was asked to make a new dish with onions and she took the risk to make something exclusive, and it paid off in the end.?
The judges were left mightily impressed with the distinctive dish.??
Allen was left amazed. ¡°The onion, it¡¯s there. It¡¯s humming, but, in a sweet way, and also a savoury way,¡± he said in his verdict on the dish. According to Leong, Chhiber considered the elements that make a great curry and a great cake and then found the gaps that can bring them together into a ¡°dish that makes sense.¡± Zonfrillo, too, was also full of praise as he ¡°absolutely loved¡± Chhibber¡¯s dish.

"For those who are wondering what this tastes like: honestly it¡¯s WILD, I never thought something like a Thai curry which is so savoury could ever taste like a dessert," the caption on the post read.?

Chhibber has said that she would like to make Indian cuisine accessible to all and will perhaps write a book on regional cuisine in the near future.??
