MasterChef India – Tamil (or simply MasterChef Tamil) is an Indian

season of the Tamil version of MasterChef made the MasterChef format surpass 500 seasons worldwide.[8][9]

In November 2023, the series was renewed for Season 2, which is set to premiere on SonyLIV in 2024.[10]

Format

The show features 14 contestants (only commoner people), with three chefs as judges. It is broadcast weekly every Saturday and Sunday on Sun TV at 9:30pm (India Time).[11][12] In Season 1, the top 24 competed until 14 were left, with the final 14 progressing to the main stage of the show. The winner competes for a prize that includes their own restaurant, the chance to have their own chef coat, and ₹ 25,00,000 in cash and the MasterChef trophy.[13]

Episodes

MasterChef India - Tamil aired two nights a week on the weekends. Each night features a different episode format, however, some episodes modify the format slightly. The typical episode formats are as follows:

Saturdays usually feature a cooking challenge — each home cook participates in a Mystery Challenge, Pair Challenge, or a Team Challenge. They are asked to prepare a dish using a core ingredient(s) featured that day. Depending on their performance, the judges declare the ones with the top dishes safe from the Pressure Test, which takes place the following day; the participants performing poorly go on to compete in the Pressure Test.

Sundays typically feature a Pressure Test or some other form of Elimination Challenge. The bottom three contestants from the preceding night are given a recipe for a particular dish which they are to emulate in an allotted time. The judges then taste their outputs and depending on their level of performance, select one contestant — whose performance was the poorest — who is eliminated from the competition.
