Malai Paneer Tikka with Kachumber Salad
Malai Paneer Tikka with Kachumber Salad and Mango Chutney.
Assigned the Mango India gelato flavor, Jassi drew on Indian culinary tradition to make malai paneer tikka - soft Indian cottage cheese marinated in cream, spiced, and charred - served with a kachumber salad of fresh cucumber, tomato, and curry leaf. The mango sorbet was repurposed as a chutney rather than a separate dessert accompaniment, tying the gelato pairing directly into the structure of the savory plate.
Jassi told the judges: it is all about spices - just bring it on. They noted having never visited India but expressed full confidence working within the flavor profile.
No formal judging commentary. In a Quickfire Challenge, only the best three and the worst three are typically judged.
