Indian-origin chef Depinder Chhibber is making a much-anticipated return to MasterChef Australia for its 17th season, joining a star-studded lineup of returning contestants. Known for her delicate Indian flavors and calm presence, Depinder previously won hearts in MasterChef Australia 13 and is now set to compete once more under the guidance of judges Andy Allen, Poh Ling-Yeow, Jean-Christophe Novelli, and Sofia Levin.

Expressing her excitement about re-entering the high-stakes culinary battle, Depinder shared, “Back to win! MasterChef Australia altered my life forever, and now we’re at it again.”

A competitive comeback

Season 17 of MasterChef Australia, themed “Back to Win 2025,” is bringing back several fan-favorite chefs from across the show’s history, spanning from Season 1 to Season 16. These returning contestants will face off in an intense kitchen showdown, aiming for a second—or even third—shot at the coveted MasterChef title.

For Depinder, the competition is more than just about winning. Since her first appearance, she has expanded her culinary career, launching a supper club named “Ghar”, which means “home” in Hindi, where she offers an authentic Indian dining experience. She also made a notable appearance as a guest judge on MasterChef India 2023, further solidifying her place in the culinary world.

Reflecting on her journey, Depinder shared, “MasterChef Australia 13 was a life-changing event. I’ve had the opportunity to meet many chefs that I like, cook in various kitchens, and lead classes. It’s been great. Showcasing Indian cuisine has been an honor for me.”

Meet the returning contestants

Depinder will be competing alongside 23 other returning chefs, all looking to claim the MasterChef title. The lineup includes:

Alana Lowes, Andre Ursini, Audra Morrice, Beau Cook, Ben Macdonald, Callum Hann, Cath Collins, Darrsh Clarke, Declan Cleary, Jamie Fleming, Jimmy Wong, Laura Sharrad, Matt Hopcraft, Pete Campbell, Rhiannon Anderson, Rue Mupedzi, Samira El Khafir, Sarah Todd, Savindri Perera, Snezana Calic, Steph De Sousa, Theo Loizou, and Tim Bone.

As the competition kicks off, viewers are eager to see how Depinder Chhibber navigates the high-pressure challenges, and whether she can take home the MasterChef trophy this time around.
