Celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor, who is also one of the judges of the show, said the idea behind bidding adieu to the non-vegetarian food items in this season is to give a chance to vegetarian cooking enthusiasts.
"This season is extremely special as 'MasterChef India-4' will be vegetarian. India has a rich heritage of vegetarian food which has not been celebrated so far.
"This current season will give a chance to the vegetarian cooking enthusiasts who have not been able to participate in the last three seasons because they do not cook non-vegetarian food. This season will give a chance to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians to come and display their vegetarian cooking marvels," Kapoor said in a statement.
