How Depinder Chhibber Is Using MasterChef Australia To Shift Stereotypes Around Indian Foods
Depinder Chhibber is having a dream run on MasterChef Australia 2025, with a bunch of wins under her belt and one of the most talked about dishes so far: her traditional Indian street food dish, Raj Kachori. In the West, there can be a stigma rooted in racism surrounding South Asian food, where the cuisine is associated with words like 'cheap' and 'simple'. Compare that to French or Italian cuisine, often considered 'elevated' and 'expensive'. This type of thinking is a 'sore spot' for Chhibber, because not only is her identity tied directly to Indian food, but she also tells Refinery29 Australia that people often don't understand how 'technical' traditional Indian recipes are. 'When I make Indian food, I know how much technicality is involved in the recipes that I'm using, which is probably the same, if not more than a French recipe, I would say,' she explains. '[I've] always said that we need to respect the local artisans, the local street food vendors, because they've been doing this for generations… when I go to Delhi, I go to the ones that have been there for like, over 100 years. These local artisans have had recipes passed down for generations and have spent years perfecting their skills. "The way they do it, they just make it look so easy. But you try and do that at home, and it's impossible to get right,' she adds. With Chhibber's Raj Kachori dish, she specifically created the street food version rather than a fancy deconstructed version, because she wanted it to be authentic. Part of her mission on MasterChef Australia is to educate Aussies about Indian food, because she believes these racist stereotypes can sometimes come down to 'lack of awareness'. 'I feel like it's my job to make everyone aware of the dishes that I know and do the best in the best possible way, if that makes sense. Because I want to go out there, and I want to create these dishes, and I want to show these dishes to the judges, to the world,' she says. ' 'It's not about the price that you pay. It's about what you get, and it's about flavour, and it's about the experience.' ' When Chhibber moved to Newcastle as an 11-year-old, she was impacted by the absence of Indian street food. There was one takeout restaurant that everybody would go to… and that was it. 'That kind of got me really interested in food, especially learning techniques and recipes that normally you wouldn't need to when you were living in India, because you could just go down the street [and buy it],' she recalls. 'I think that [food] became like an identity, kind of like a mission for me to master those and showcase those, which is what I'm aiming to do this season.' The first time Chhibber competed on MasterChef Australia, she didn't expect to have such a reaction from other Indian Australians watching the show. This time around, she's all too aware. 'When I came onto MasterChef [the first time], I was cooking Indian food without realising how much it meant to other people in the community. I honestly didn't realise the importance of that emotion, because I had never felt that before,' she says. ' 'This time around, when I'm making dishes… if I'm tearing up, I know people will be tearing up with me, because they can all feel the same emotion.' ' Her mission to bring Indian food to Australia won't stop at MasterChef Australia, whether she wins or not, because she has big plans for after the show. She's already opened her own supper club called Ghar in Newcastle, and her next step is to publish a cookbook. 'I would love to put all my recipes together, all of the things that I've learned over the last how many years I've been cooking, and I'd love to put them into a cookbook for local people that are intimidated by Indian food,' she says. 'Indian food can be quite intimidating with its flavours, with its spices, the number of ingredients. But you know what? There is an easy way to do everything. 'I think everyone can learn a little bit of spice work. And I think living in Australia, how multicultural we are, I think it's really important to kind of be across a lot of different cuisines if you're a foodie, especially if you like to call yourself a foodie.'

MasterChef fans in tears as Laura pays tribute to Jock Zonfrillo in heartbreaking moment
Sunday night's episode of MasterChef called for the contestants to watch an emotional video of their journey on the show and cook a dish that represents them now. Fan favourite Laura Sharrad make emotional while standing in front of the judges, sharing that she wasn't sure she wanted to return to the show without former judge Jock Zonfrillo there. Jock died suddenly on April 30, 2023, just one day before his final season of MasterChef was set to premiere. His loss has been felt deeply in the MasterChef kitchen ever since. Laura plated up a dish of a leek and lobster pasta with a watercress and shellfish sauce, and the judges loved the dish, but speaking about her inspiration, she revealed there was a lot of Jock in it. "I feel like I have grown up on this show, and it's led to so many different chapters of my life," she told the judges, sharing that she went into restaurants after her first time on the show and tried to learn anything she could from anyone who would take her. "And the one and only Jock did teach me quite a lot, and... God, I'm getting emotional."

I've come back and I didn't know if it was the right decision or not. Obviously, Jock was standing here the last time I was here, and [it] was really hard to come back. This place has, like I said, the best memories, but it's just, it's difficult." Andy Allen, who was good friends with Jock and worked with him for several years on the show, gave her a hug and told her she "made the right decision". "Thank you, I'm so excited to be back," she told him. After tasting the dish, Andy told her, "Yeah, you can definitely tell that you've learnt from our good buddy. There's so much of him in there. Like, it's crazy, even just looking at it, like, it's you and him, just in a dish." With her beautiful dish, Laura was safe from elimination. MasterChef fans shared support for Laura, and their heartbreak over the moment, with one Instagram user writing, "Oh my heart. I still missed Jock, he would be proud of you. Well done & well deserved Laura." "We all miss Jock but love his name is always mentioned," another said. "Absolutely the right decision keep cooking with your heart just like tonight," a third said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MasterChef Australia (@masterchefau) "Jock is feeling like a proud dad of what you have become today Loz," someone else wrote. "He is showering his love in every dish you present in the Masterchef @laurasharrad well done." "That was literally on of the most beautiful moments on MasterChef @laurasharrad hearing you speak about Jock," another added. "You definitely made the right decision." "You had me in tears 😢 well done Laura," one fan wrote. "I can see the genuine heartbreak and pain in Andy and your faces 💔 you so made the right decision Laura," yet another said. Many others said they missed seeing Jock on their screens, and others pointed out it was recently the second anniversary of his passing. "My tears were flowing he would be proud of you most definitely," one person said. "I am so glad you mentioned Jock... it isn't the same without him," another added. "He absolutely would be with you and Andy, pushing you guys. Beautiful words. Made me teary." In her first sit-down interview, Lauren Zonfrillo, Jock's wife, spoke about losing her husband with journalist Liz Hayes for Spotlight, which aired on Sunday night. While she acknowledged that fans wanted to know how Jock died, she promised this would be something she would not reveal, in a bid to respect his privacy. Lauren described Jock as a "beautifully flawed man", who had publicly spoken about his past battles with drug abuse. She added that the reports of those who found Jock said it appeared he had died peacefully in his sleep. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 7NEWS Spotlight (@7newsspotlight) Liz brought up the fact that the coroner didn't publicly release the details of his passing, and Lauren told her that she "respected" the coroner's findings, but wanted to give Jock and the rest of her family "privacy" and "peace". While she understands the public curiosity, she explained, "I now don't want to make those decisions of what he does and doesn't want to talk about, if it wasn't in the public domain in any way, or comments about anything that he hasn't brought up before."

Nothing's unanswered, nothing's not understood. I have an answer … but it doesn't make a difference." Jock was just 46 when he died. His body was discovered at Zagame's House, a hotel in Melbourne.
