It’s episode three of My Kitchen Rules 2023 and time for NSW’s identical twins Radha and Prabha to serve up some spicy Indian food from the heart.
Their menu was a love letter to their family – their mum, who taught them how to cook, and their late father, whose memory they hoped to honour. But before they could cook, they had an important decision looming over them:
“Tonight’s menu is going to be spicy. Really spicy. We know that there are guest teams there that don’t like too much heat and that’s playing at the back of our mind, like, do we dumb it down for them?” they said.
Their Instant Restaurant, Radha and Prabha’s Royal Dhaba was inspired by Indian street food restaurants. The twins were determined to deliver the dishes exactly how they would eat them at home, with the same level of heat, despite some of the guests, including Coco, being unable to handle spicy food.
Entrée
Chicken 65 with mint yoghurt
Judging:
- Despite Colin Fassnidge and Manu Feildel gulping mouthfuls of water, they give glowing reviews
Main
Lamb rogan josh
Judging:
- The feedback is overwhelmingly positive. Radha and Prabha also revealed the emotional story behind the dish, leaving everyone in tears, including Colin.
Dessert
Rabri with jalebi
Judging
- Dessert does not go to plan. Neither element of the Jalebi with Rabri turns out as expected, and the appearance and texture of the dish are off.

The drama
Meanwhile, over at the table, Marcus asked the other guest teams for honest feedback on his Instant Restaurant. As per usual, Claudean doesn’t hold back, leaving Sonia in tears.
While most of the guest teams are looking forward to an authentic Indian curry, Coco and Pearls are not, saying that the restaurants should cater to their guest’s needs. Claudean disagrees, telling Coco that she should respect the elders.
In addition to this, being the next to cook, Coco decides that she and Pearls would receive tens across the board with Pearls saying: “Now that’s a lot of work for me to do”.
The two then have a full-blown argument at the table which is both awkward and amazing.
