The chefs tasted one of Gaggan Anand's creations, "Rainbow World", a paste of jasmine cream shaped into a world map and dusted with assorted dried fruits and edible flowers to create a rainbow of color representing love and unity.
The chefs were then challenged to create their own visually stunning dish that sent a message and could be eaten without utensils.
Padma Lakshi: "For this elimination challenge, we want you to create a dish that sends a message, is visually stunning, and can be eaten without utensils."
Gaggan Anand: "Try to represent your emotions, what you want to present yourself as your beliefs."
Chef Ali: "I'm excited for the challenge because if you come to my restaurant, you would walk just inside, and you will see, like, a very big hashtag that says, I have a story to tell, because I do believe that chefs are storytellers. I'm so excited to see what you come up with."
