Prompt
Format the family recipe I provide as an archival recipe card. Preserve quantities, method and restrictions exactly; if any are absent, ask for them rather than inventing cooking or fasting instructions. Add fields for who supplied the recipe, regional/family variation and permission to share. Do not declare it universally required, medically suitable or safe for all dietary needs. My details: Family calls the dish thekua. Ingredient names supplied: flour, jaggery and ghee. Quantities and preparation method are not yet provided. Goal: record grandmother’s actual recipe. Use only supplied facts; fictional default details are examples, not a real event. Ask for essential missing input or mark unknowns rather than inventing people, prices, dates, permissions or commitments. Regional and family practices can differ; do not present one practice as a universal rule.
Customise
Paste the real details. Leave out anything you do not want repeated.
Fields start with illustrative values; replace them with your own facts. The prompt updates as you type. Copy prompt copies your version.
