The problem

- Cooking traditional food after work is exhausting
- Younger family members want variety; elders want familiar

Questions
- Is this just Indian food?
- No — it spans the region. Pakistani nihari, Bangladeshi macher jhol, Sri Lankan dal, Indian rajma. You set the leaning.
- Can the spice level be turned down?
- Yes. Tell Joeys 'mild' or 'kid-friendly heat' and it adjusts.
- Will it work for halal-only?
- Yes. Set halal in preferences and pork/alcohol are removed from every plan.
- How long do these recipes take?
- Weeknights default to 30-40 min. Weekend dishes can stretch longer if you want.
- Does it understand desi grocery lists?
- Yes — atta, ghee, garam masala, paneer, and more are first-class. Lists are organized for desi stores when you tag them.
