What you will get

An appetising spread with your main curry, dal makhani, jeera rice, naan and raita, coriander on top, steam rising, warm restaurant light and a hand tearing a piece of naan.

Why it works

Naming each dish gives the model a full table with different colours and textures. Steam and a hand in the frame are classic food photography tricks that suggest the meal is fresh and about to be eaten. Warm restaurant light makes the gravies glow, which flat daylight cannot do.

Common mistake

The curries all look the same colour.

Fix: Describe each one: orange creamy paneer, dark brown dal with a swirl of cream, white raita, so the table has contrast.

Also watch for

The hand has extra fingers. Ask for the hand at the edge of the frame, partly cut off, and regenerate until it looks right.
The food looks plastic. Add “glossy gravy, visible texture, slight char on the naan” and keep the steam, as the tip suggests.

Try a variation: make it a thali

Ask for the same dishes served in small bowls on one steel thali, shot from above with the naan folded on the side.

Still not right? Reply with this

Make each dish a different colour and texture: orange creamy paneer, dark dal with a swirl of cream, white raita, a slightly charred naan.
