===Episodes===
''MasterChef India - Tamil'' airs two nights a week only on the weekends. Each night features a different episode format, however some episodes modify the format slightly. The typical episode formats are as follows:

'''Saturdays''' usually feature a cooking challenge — each home cook participates in a Mystery Challenge, Pair Challenge, or a Team Challenge. They are asked to prepare a dish using a core ingredient(s) featured that day. Depending on their performance, the judges declare the ones with the top dishes safe from the Pressure Test, which takes place the following day; the participants performing poorly go on to compete in the Pressure Test.

'''Sundays''' typically feature ta Pressure Test or some other form of Elimination Challenge. The bottom three contestants from the preceding night are given a recipe for a particular dish which they are to emulate in an alloted time. The judges then taste their outputs and depending on their level of performance, select one contestant — whose performance was the poorest — who is eliminated from the competition.
