The incorrectly used word is "condone up"

Key Points

  • In the given sentence, the usage of "condone up" is incorrect instead of this we can use "prepare".
  • The meaning of the word "condone" is "to accept or agree with something that most people think is wrong" (किसी ऐसी बात को स्वीकार करना या उससे सहमत होना जिसे ज्यादातर लोग गलत समझते हैं) and it does not fit with the context of the sentence.
  • The meaning of the word "prepare" is to get ready or to make somebody/something ready​. 
  • Let's see an example-
    • Your room is being prepared now and should be ready soon.

So, the correct sentence would be: He had an amazing capacity to prepare the most delectable dishes at a short notice. (उनके पास कम समय में सबसे स्वादिष्ट व्यंजन तैयार करने की अद्भुत क्षमता थी।)
