Origin Story
Opens with a scene. Never "This recipe is…"
COASTAL ANDHRA TAMARIND PRAWN CURRY

In the fishing villages south of Kakinada, the first catch of the day goes straight into a clay pot with tamarind pulled from the tree outside. No measurements — the sourness calibrates itself to the size of the prawns. This version reconstructs that balance with precision: tart enough to cut through richness, with a slow heat that arrives after the first bite and doesn't let go.
60–100 words. Place + memory + appetite trigger. Regional specificity, not "Indian-inspired."
Method
Every step: action, reason, sensory cue.
3. Heat 2 tbsp (30ml) coconut oil in a wide pan over medium-high until it shimmers and a mustard seed thrown in pops immediately — this is your temperature signal.

4. Add 200g (1 cup) sliced shallots. Cook 8–10 min, stirring every 2 min, until deep amber at the edges — not brown, not pale. This is the flavour base; don't rush it.

PRO TIP: Add a small piece of dried kokum alongside the tamarind — it deepens the sourness without sharpening it.
Dual measurements (g + volume). Sensory cue on every step. One genuine technique insight per recipe.
Plating + Variations
Hero shot moment + four fully written variations.
PLATING: Ladle into a wide, shallow bowl. Arrange 4–5 prawns with tails visible above the surface. Scatter torn curry leaves and a pinch of chilli flakes. Pour a thread of raw coconut oil across the top — it pools in amber ribbons against the dark gravy. The hero shot: overhead, tight crop, steam rising.

Dietary swap: Replace prawns with firm tofu (press 30 min, cube, pan-fry golden first). The tamarind-coconut base is naturally vegan.

Budget version: Frozen shell-on prawns, thawed overnight. Flavour loss is minimal if the base is right.
Variations fully written out — not "swap X for Y" without method.
Platform Copy
Ready for every platform. Not interchangeable filler.
📱 TikTok / Reels hook: "This looks like it took all day. It didn't."

📸 Instagram caption (excerpt): The thing about Andhra prawn curry is the sourness arrives first and the heat arrives last — that's the whole point. Save this for the weekend when you want something that actually tastes like somewhere...

How it works

How does Recipe Development Prompt work?

  1. Tell Claude what you need — the skill asks 2-3 narrowing questions specific to the task.
  2. The skill runs live research and structures the output before writing a single word.
  3. An anti-slop quality gate checks the draft, then delivers a ready-to-use result for $5.
