Kamaldeep Kaur, popularly known as KDK, gained wide recognition as a standout contestant on MasterChef India Season 7 (2023). Hailing from Ludhiana, Punjab, she began her culinary journey after marriage as a homemaker and transformed her passion for cooking into a national-level achievement. Her inspiring growth, disciplined approach, and deep connection with traditional flavors made her one of the most talked-about participants of the season.
She became known for her authentic Punjabi cuisine, creative presentation, and consistent performance in high-pressure challenges. During the competition, she earned major appreciation from the judges and secured an Immunity Pin, marking a key milestone in her journey. She was also recognized as the first finalist of her season and finished among the Top-10 finalists and Top-5 contestants, proving her strong competitive edge.
Chef Vikas Khanna gave her the special nickname “KAMAALDEEP” in appreciation of her remarkable skills and impressive dishes. The name reflected her ability to deliver “kamaal” (exceptional) plates time after time.
After the show, she continued expanding her culinary career through masterclasses, recipe sharing, and food workshops. She is now furthering her professional journey and currently works as a chef at The Social 37 Restaurant, bringing her signature flavors and MasterChef experience to a wider audience.
The Social-37 is a cozy spot that blends tradition
with taste. We serve freshly brewed coffee,
homemade desserts, and flavorful meals in a relaxed
setting near the waterfront.
