Prep rules

Trigger recipe	Required step	Lead time	Reminder timing
Chole	Soak chole	6–8 hours	Remind earlier the same day / previous night depending on meal time
Rajma	Soak rajma	6–8 hours	Remind earlier the same day / previous night depending on meal time
Shami kabab	Order/confirm ingredients + soak chana dal	5–6 hours before meal time overall; 3 hours soaking	Remind 5–6 hours before the meal, not just at soak time

Constraints

Recipe / context	Constraint	How to apply it
Dal	Only recommend Arhar Dal for dal meals unless Shreyak says otherwise	Treat generic `dal` suggestions as arhar/toor dal by default
Dal meals	Dal is usually paired with rice and a protein source like fish or egg bhurji	Prefer dal + rice + protein-style combinations over plain dal-only meal recommendations
All meal suggestions	Include a protein source in every meal unless Shreyak says otherwise	Reject low-protein suggestions by default and add paneer, fish, chicken, egg, rajma, chole, or a similar protein path when planning

Notes

Only add recipes that were explicitly discussed or clearly implied by Shreyak.
When in doubt, separate core ingredients from optional ingredients.
Prep prerequisites matter as much as ingredients.
Ingredient names are currently stored close to household phrasing (tikhlaal, sarso ka tel, khade masale) unless a later normalization is useful.
Recommendation constraints are first-class planning inputs, not side notes.
