The prompt

Create a professional food photograph. Dish: [e.g. a plate of masala dosa with sambar and two chutneys / a bowl of butter chicken with naan / a slice of chocolate cake] Where it's used: [menu card / Instagram feed 4:5 / delivery app listing 1:1 / website banner 16:9] Mood: [bright and fresh daylight / warm and moody restaurant / rustic home kitchen] Styling: the dish as the hero in sharp focus; one or two supporting elements (a small bowl of the side, a few raw ingredients, a folded cloth napkin) placed so they lead the eye to the dish; real textures: crisp edges, glossy gravy, a little steam if hot. Surface and background: [dark wood / marble / banana leaf / plain linen], uncluttered. Camera: [45-degree angle for bowls and plates / top-down for thalis and spreads / straight-on for burgers and cakes], 85mm look, shallow depth of field. Light: soft side light from the [left], gentle shadow, no harsh glare. Avoid: fake-looking plastic food, overly saturated colours, cutlery pointing at the camera, hands, text, logos or brand packaging.
