I had heard and then experienced for myself- the umbilical cord is never actually cut. It remains! And even when the kids grow up, they remain kids for a mother and a mother feels they would need her. - until they grew up, Until they moved out, Until they could drive, Until they could make their own decisions. So my prayer is different now. God, please don’t let me get sick again. Please give me a strong body. Please give me the energy to keep advocating. Please give me the patience to keep teaching. Please give me the courage to keep fighting. Please let me live long enough to make sure they will be okay without me. Because I don’t need to be needed forever. I just need to know that when my time comes, they will be loved, they will be safe, and they will never wonder if their mama fought like hell to make sure they were okay. Until then, God... please let my body last. #mother #motherhood #pankajbhadouria

Chemo took my hair. And somewhere along the way, the fear within began taking away my confidence—the ease of being myself, of stepping out without wondering how the world would look at me. But not anymore. Today, I look in the mirror and I want to be kinder to the woman looking back. She has been through so much. She deserves to feel beautiful, to be seen, to celebrate. ❤️ This Vijayadashami, my ‘Vijay’ is deeply personal. Over my fears, my hesitation, and the shame I never needed to carry. I am ready to meet the world just as I am. With my bare head, my red bindi, and a heart that is slowly finding its courage again. Thank you, Ma, for giving me this strength. For helping me see myself with love again. 🙏 See you at Sindoor Khela tomorrow! ❤️ #pankajbhadouria #chemotherapy #cancer #dusshera #sindoorkhela

This was such a precious moment for me in my MasterChef journey! For three months, we had been away from our families shooting for MasterChef, and then one day we were given the best surprise of our lives. Our families were invited on the show and we did not know about it! Can you imagine the joy of seeing my family after so long?! As a mother, the most difficult thing for me at MasterChef had been staying away from my kids and then all of a sudden as I turned back,I saw my family standing right behind me! And how I cried that day! It was as if all the emotions I had been holding back for so long, suddenly found a way out…. This was the Grand Finale, my final task, and once again, I had the people who mattered to me most standing right next to me. I was starting afresh. I was starting with the same confidence that I had when I came to Master Chef. Their presence filled me with the courage and love that helped me perform my best and finally win MasterChef! #throwback #tbt #throwbackthursday #pankajbhadouria #masterchef

So yes, there is nothing JUST about it 😔 #cancer #chemotherapy #cancersurvivor #pankajbhadouria #trauma

Wishing all the wonderful daughters a very Happy Daughters’ Day! ❤️ A daughter truly is one of life’s most beautiful blessings. You spend years holding her hand, protecting her, guiding her and making sure she is always okay. And then, somewhere along the way, the roles begin to change. The little girl you once took care of grows into the woman who becomes your closest friend, your strength, your comfort… and the one who quietly starts taking care of you. She understands the things you don’t always say, stands beside you through your strongest and most vulnerable moments, and reminds you that you never have to face anything alone. And today, more than ever, I realise just how blessed I am to have my Sona in my life. ❤️ From being my little girl to becoming my best friend and one of my biggest pillars of strength… you mean more to me than words can ever express. Happy Daughters’ Day, my Sona. ❤️ #daughter #happydaughtersday #motherhood #motherdaughter #pankajbhadouria

Finally my 4th and last session of Chemotherapy is done! And from here on, the journey to recovery begins. The Targeted therapies will still continue for the entire year and so such visits to the hospital every 3 weeks will become a norm. But because they will not have the side effects like Chemotherapy does, they will be kinder to my body. 4 months of fighting Cancer….. And through all this I had my family, all of you & God by my side. Praying for the same Love & Support in the coming days too ✨ #cancer #chemotherapy #chemo #pankajbhadouria #family

Sometimes, a health scare changes how you look at food. You stop choosing only by taste. You start asking what is actually inside it. Ingredients. Labels. Nutrition. What your body is getting every day. Because food is not just something we eat. It is something our body has to live with. 💚 #BetterNutrition #NutritionMatters #FoodAwareness #IndiaAgainstHiddenHunger #IAHH

So Simple! Yet so Flavourful! This is Aloo Rosh! A dish with clean, rustic flavours where everyday ingredients like potatoes, onion, tomatoes, aromatics like ginger, garlic, green chilies, some oil and seasonings get thrown together into a pot and stew cooked. The dish is a vegetarian version of a Peshawari meat dish called Rosh where we have skipped the meats and let the potatoes absorb all the wonderful flavours. It has a soupy flavourful broth that goes well with both Roti and Rice!

Having your family by your side when you need them the most is truly one of life’s greatest blessings. ❤️ During my cancer journey, I felt this more deeply than ever. From my treatment and chemotherapy sessions to my medicines, meals and even what I carried with me on those long hospital days, my family looked after every little detail — especially my daughter. And on those days, something as simple as carrying warm, home-cooked food brought so much comfort. My Home Essentials Lunch Box became a part of that routine too — with its leak-proof stainless steel containers and insulated outer box, it kept my ghar ka khana warm, fresh and neatly packed through the day. Because sometimes, comfort is not just in the food… it’s in the love with which it is packed. #cancer #chemotherapy #homeessentials #homeessentialsfinds #hefinds [ Pankaj Bhadouria , Pankaj Bhadouria Cancer ,Chemotherapy , Mother , Daughter ]

If you ever wondered, why the samosas made in the air fryer don’t come out as crisp as the halwai’s deep fried samosas, here is the answer for you. This is the “Low-High” Method. Phase 1: 160°C for 10-12 mins (To cook the dough through to the center). Phase 2: Brush lightly again, then 200°C for 3-4 mins (To blister the crust and brown it). Just follow this and your air fryer samosas! #samosa #airfryer #airfryerrecipes #promo #pankajbhadouria

5 Foods That May Help Lower Cancer Risk Going through cancer changed the way I look at food, health and everyday choices. During my treatment, I asked my doctors a simple question:
“Are there foods I can include in my daily diet that may help support my body and protect my cells?” These were some of the foods they suggested: 1. Turmeric – rich in curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. I prefer having it with black pepper and a little healthy fat for better absorption. 2. Amla – naturally rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants. Fresh amla, chutney or unsweetened juice are simple ways to include it in your diet. 3. Ashwagandha – often used to support stress management and overall wellbeing. Supplements should always be taken after consulting your doctor, especially during treatment. 4. Garlic – contains beneficial compounds such as allicin. Crush or chop it and let it rest for a few minutes before eating or lightly cooking it. 5. Broccoli – rich in sulforaphane and other protective plant compounds. Light steaming is one of the best ways to enjoy it. My biggest learning through this journey has been that there is no magic food that can prevent or cure cancer. But the little choices we make every day—what we eat, how we move, how we manage stress and whether we go for regular screenings—do matter. I cannot change what has already happened, but I can certainly be more mindful about what I choose for my body today. ❤️ And if sharing something from my journey helps even one person take their health a little more seriously, it is worth sharing. #Cancer #CancerAwareness #CancerPrevention #Nutrition #pankajbhadouria [Pankaj Bhadouria, Cancer, Breast Cancer, Cancer prevention, cancer awareness, health & nutrition, nutrition, turmeric, amla, ashwagandha, garlic, broccoli, healthy choices ]

7 Kitchen Mistakes to Avoid Here are 7 Mistakes to avoid in the kitchen! Each of them related to food and how it reacts with different materials hence impacting how we store or cook them. So note kar lijiye! And do share this with someone who may need it too! 1. Never cook tomatoes in Aluminium: The Acid reacts and Leaches Metal into the food 2. Never store cut fruits & vegetables in plastic wrap: It releases microplastics in the food 3. Never Store Citrus juices in Plastic Bottles: Acidity causes microplastics to release 4. Never use vinegar in cast iron pans: It strips it of its seasoning and causes it to rust 5. Never store or boil milk in Copper Utensils: There is a strong risk of contamination 6. Never use a metal spoon to remove honey: It corrodes and spoils the taste. 7. Never deep fry in Non Stick Cookware: The high heat damages the coating that leaches into the oil #kitchen #kitchenhacks #tipsandtricks #pankajbhadouria #recipe

August turned out to be quite eventful! It started with my second Chemotherapy that hit me really hard. It took a major toll on my health and hair too. Despite all precautions, preventive medicines and care, I was weakened by infections one after the other that took a massive toll on my physical health. And then came the other after effects- the major being hair loss! Believe me, nothing prepares you for it when it actually hits you. Losing my tresses was a shocker that took time coming to terms. But then, as the month moved on came in days that brought in joy and happiness- so many friends from far and near coming to visit me, celebrating festivals, I even snuck in a few sweets! And then finally, an evening out with the family after 3 whole months! Yes, we ate out and it felt so good! It felt like a step towards recovery. It’s funny how a word like ‘Cancer’ changes your entire life and that of your family around you too. But then we are learning to live with it in the best way anyone can- with love, support and hope! #cancer #chemotherapy #pankajbhadouria #family #familytime

Pankaj Ke Nuskhe I How to Clean Silverware To clean tarnished silver jewellery or silverware, just follow this kitchen hack, my Nuskha. Soak the silver it in hot water with some salt and baking soda. The baking soda and salt help transfer electrons between the tarnished silver and the aluminium. Through this process, the sulphur that caused the tarnish (silver sulphide) is pulled away from the silver and bonds with the aluminium instead, leaving the silver clean! #pankajkenuskhe #kitchenhack #pankajbhadouria #silver #tipsandtricks

Brush with water and sprinkle some nigella seeds and kasurimethi. Heat a tawa. Pour ¼ cup water over it, place the kulcha and cover immediately. Let the kulcha puff well. As the underside turns golden, flip and cook on the other side till golden marks appear. Remove from heat, brush with ghee and cook on naked flame for 30-35 secs for extra crispness. Serve hot.

Often while making onion paratha, kulcha or kachori , we face a problem. The stuffing becomes too runny and bursts the seam making it wet. To prevent that, add some salt to the onions and let them sweat for 10 minutes. Now squeeze out all the extra moisture from the sweated onions, and then add them to the stuffing. This will ensure that your Paratha or Kulcha’s do not burst. Also, check out the recipe of Pani Walla Kulcha, A kulcha, that needs no oven, no Tandoor and is made on a Tawa! check out the video now out on my YouTube channel! #kulcha #paratha #naan #pankajbhadouria #promo

5 Hidden Cancer Risks in Your Kitchen   My Cancer journey has prompted me to look at little changes I can make in my kitchen to remove everything that can remotely lead to cancer. and here are 5 things to begin with and the reason why. 1. Plastic water bottles: You have heard it being said repeatedly- Plastic water bottles can shed microplastics and chemicals into water, especially when exposed to heat or stored for long periods. Use Glass Bottles instead as they are non reactive. 2. Plastic cutting boards gradually release microscopic plastic particles into food as they become scratched and worn over time. Use wooden Chopping Boards instead. 3. Plastic food containers can leach chemicals and microplastics into meals, particularly when heated in the microwave or dishwasher. Use Glass Containers instead. 4. Scratched non-stick (Teflon) pans can degrade over time and may release fluorinated compounds when overheated. Use Stainless Steel Pans instead. 5.  Aluminium foil can transfer small amounts of aluminium into food, especially when cooking acidic foods at high temperatures. Small daily choices add up. Reducing unnecessary chemical exposure isn’t about perfection - it’s about creating a healthier home and protecting your family. #cancer #kitchen #cancerjourney #pankajbhadouria #cancerrisk [pankaj bhadouria, Cancer, carcinogenic, prevention, breast cancer, carcinogens, plastic bottles, glass bottles, plastic chopping boards, chopping boards, wooden chopping boards, plastic food containers, glass containers, steel pans, teflon pans, aluminium foil, bee wax paper, butter paper, microplastics, cancer prevention ]

5 Secrets for Crispy Pakoda   Chai & Pakora? The perfect Monsoon combination! But if your Pakoras become soggy and do not turn out crisp, check this out! This video shares how Pakoda Never Becomes Soggy Again with 5 Secrets for Crispy Pakoda!
The tips that I have shared to make crispy pakodas can be used to make any pakodas, aloo pakoda, paneer pakoda, onion pakoda, bread pakoda or even bhajiya. These 5 secrets to make crispy Pakoda are: 1.     Slice your vegetables thin. This way they hold less moisture and result in crispier pakodas. 2.     Never use besan alone for the batter. Add 2 tbsp rice flour per cup of besan for crispy pakoras. 3.     Add a pinch of baking soda to the batter. This bakes the coating crisp. 4.     Add a little hot oil to the batter. This helps in making the pakoras crispy inside too. 5.     Double fry the pakoras for extra crispness. A flash frying for just 30 seconds in hot oil helps to remove condensed moisture in the pakora crust and makes it ultra crisp. #pakoda #tipsandtricks #kitchenhacks #pankajbhadouria #cripy    [pakoda, crispy pakoda, pakode, monsoon recipes, streetfood, aloo pakoda, pyaz pakoda, bread pakoda, paneer pakoda, bhajiya, frying technique, chai pakoda, Pankaj Bhadouria ]

Kitchen Dispensary: Onion Juice for Hair – The Right Way! We all have tried Onion Juice for preventing Hair Loss but probably the wrong way! Onion juice needs to be fermented before use for the best results. Mix some salt and honey in onion juice and let it ferment for 2 days. Then apply it on wet scalp and let rest for 1 hour. Shampoo it away. Repeat the process twice a week for 4-6 weeks for best results! It works thanks to 2 compounds Querctin & Sulfur, that are present in onions. It build keratin, reduce inflammation and fights scalp infections. Fermentation increases production of beneficial vitamins, boosts growth of hair at roots, stimulates dormant hair follicles. #hairfall #hair #onion #kitchendispensary #pankajbhadouria

Can Air Fryer Samosas Beat Halwai Samosas? If you wondered, why air fried samosas don’t come out as crisp as the halwai’s deep fried samosas, here is the answer! 1: The dough for the samosas to be air fried would need a little more moyan- shortening, than the samosa to be fried. As these samosas will not be dunked in oil, so all the crispness has to come from inside the dough. 2: The technique to air fry the samosas: The “Low-High” Method. 160°C for 10-12 mins (To cook the dough through to the center). Brush lightly again, then 200°C for 3-4 mins (To blister the crust and brown it). Now get crispy samosas in an air fryer too! #samosa #airfryer #pankajbhadouria #airfryersamosa #recipe Recipe: Air fryer Samosas Preparation time: 20 mins Cooking time: 16 mins/batch Makes: 12 Ingredients: For dough: 2 cups flour ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp carom seeds 5 tbsp ghee For the stuffing: 8 large boiled potatoes 2 tbsp oil ½ tsp hing 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp crushed coriander seeds 1 tbsp coriander powder 1 tbsp red chili powder 1 tsp garam masala powder ½ tsp turmeric powder 2 tbsp dry mango powder 1 tbsp chat masala Salt to taste Chopped coriander Chopped mint leaves ½ cup green peas To brush: ¼ cup melted butter A pinch of turmeric powder A pinch of powdered sugar Method: Add salt and carom seeds to flour and mix. Add ghee and rub well. Add water, little at a time, to knead a soft dough. Divide dough into 12 equal balls and roll out into a roti. Cut the roti into half and set aside. To make filling, heat oil in a pan. add hing, cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds and sauté till fragrant. Add chopped ginger and green chilies and mix well. Now add chopped boiled potatoes, salt to taste and sauté till the potatoes are lightly coloured. Add powdered spices, mint, coriander, mix well. Cool completely before filling. Shape samosas. Brush samosas with melted butter to which a pinch of turmeric and a pinch of powdered sugar has been added. Air fry at 160°C for 10-12 mins (To cook the dough through to the center). Brush lightly again, then 200°C for 3-4 mins (To blister the crust and brown it). Serve.

Some moments stay louder than achievements. In 2011, I held my first book in my hands — The MasterChef Cookbook.
Not just my first, but the only official cookbook by a MasterChef winner anywhere in the world. We launched it across four cities.
This picture is from the Delhi launch — a day filled with nerves, hope, and belief — made unforgettable by the warmth, encouragement, and quiet strength of Chef Vikas and Chef Kunal who came to support me when it all felt new. I’ve written five more cookbooks since then.
But this one?
This one will always beat a little louder in my heart. Because it was the beginning.
And beginnings are never just books — they’re dreams learning how to breathe. 💛 #masterchefindia #masterchef #cookbook #throwback #tbt

And all this happened just because a tearful heart wished for this miracle to happen and it did. Trust is Plan!

Today is a very special date of my Life! This is the day when I won MasterChef India 15 years ago! The joy and privilege of being India’s first MasterChef, a victory that helped me find place in MasterChef history! And this was the beginning of a new journey of my life…..my entire family…… and a date that shall always be a reason for celebration! All this was possible for I believed in myself. So never stop believing……Miracles do happen! #masterchef #winningmoment #masterchefindia #pankajbhadouria

“Either you Quit the Show, or you Quit your Job.” Those words echoed in my mind as I stood at a crossroads 15 years ago. It wasn’t an easy choice. Leaving behind a stable 16-year career, my family, and the comfort of a secure life to chase a dream felt like madness to many. I traveled to Mumbai, stepping into the unknown, knowing there were no guarantees. I was just one among 40 hopefuls, with no assurance of making it to the top 10, let alone stepping into the MasterChef kitchen. Winning the title seemed like an impossible dream. People called me foolish. They questioned my decision: “Why give up everything for a notion? A TV show? What if you fail? Will you ever regain the security you had?” And yet, deep down, I knew I had to take the risk. That moment—when I earned my first apron—was my turning point. It wasn’t just about proving the doubters wrong; it was about proving to myself that I could do it. I showed that age and circumstances don’t define our ability to dream or succeed. Looking back, it was the best decision I ever made. Dreams do come true, but only if you’re willing to take the leap. That leap was my first step toward fulfilling a lifelong passion, and I’ve never looked back since. #masterchefindia #pankajbhadouria #masterchefjourney #masterchef
