KATHMANDU: Chef Santosh Shah has made it to the final three in the Master Chef UK – The Professionals. In last night's penultimate round, Chef Santosh made lamb marinated in spices with fermented mustard greens that was served with bone marrow curry sauce and a mint paratha. Guest chefs and the judges appreciated his cookery and talent. Likewise, he prepared crab curry with fried rice, and chocolate, raspberry and carrot pudding as the second dish which was dedicated to someone special -- his loving mother.

The love that went into Santosh's culinary tribute to his mother was plain to see. What a story. ❤ Are you a cooking professional with a passion? Apply now for the next series of #MasterChefUK The Professionals ? https://t.co/c6cpW21FV4 pic.twitter.com/oxJ2gYIIL2
