Laal Maas to Papdi Chaat, Indian flavours rock MasterChef Australia Season 14

From Sarah Todd to judge Jock Zonfrillo, MasterChef Australia Season 14 has many who are fans of Indian flavours. No wonder, the show features dishes like Laal Maas, Butter Chicken and Papdi Chaat.

Australian celebrity chef Sarah Todd, who is currently seen on MasterChef Australia: Fans vs Favourites, is known for her love for Indian cuisine. If you are a MasterChef Australia fan, you have seen her as a contestant on Season 6, dishing up traditional Indian dishes. This year, on Season 14 of the culinary reality show, Sarah is back with new Indian dishes.

After finishing in the Top 10, Sarah Todd quickly became one of the most popular names in the Indian food scene. In 2014, she opened her first restaurant in Goa, which led to a six-part series, My Restaurant In India. In 2018, she opened her second restaurant in Mumbai, which led to another TV series, My Second Restaurant In India. Two years later, Sarah published her second cookbook, My Indian Kitchen, showcasing Indian-inspired recipes that are quick and simple to create.

Here are some of the Indian delicacies showcased by Sarah and other MasterChef Australia contestants that you can try at home:

Pork Vindaloo

Toasted in whole spices and coconut vinegar, this flavoured, slow-cooked Pork Vindaloo is perfect for any occasion. The onion fried rice adds to the appetite with luscious flavours. With minimum ingredients and time, this dish must be tried if you love Goan cuisine.

Sharing a picture of the dish, Sarah wrote, "Overnight Goan Pork Vindaloo - It may have taken 18 hours in the MasterChef kitchen but I do have an easier at home version. My spice blend is available on my website to purchase. #masterchefau #masterchef #sarahtodd (sic)."
