🍛 Indian Cuisine Understanding
Generic calorie apps often miss Indian meal context. They usually do not model:
- •Regional variations across North, South, East, and West India
- •Thali composition and home-style portions
- •Cooking methods like tadka, dum, and pressure-cooking
- •Festival and vrat meal patterns
IndianCalorie is tuned for Indian plates from everyday meals to special occasions.
