Tejasswi Prakash is not just winning hearts on Celebrity MasterChef with her cooking skills – she is also making waves on the global food scene. Her unique creation, Dosa Bombolini, has impressed none other than Chef Vikas Khanna. It earned a spot on the anniversary menu of his Michelin-star restaurant Bungalow in NYC. And that's not all – Tejasswi will also receive 10% of the revenue from her dish! The actress's innovative recipe gives the classic Italian Bombolini a South Indian twist. Instead of a sweet doughnut, she crafted a savoury, spiced version packed with veggies, served on a rich pumpkin gravy base instead of Italian cream. The bold fusion of flavours caught the judges' attention, and now, it's ready to be savoured by food lovers in NYC.
