Indian Recipe

Indian Recipe is a colourful cooking game that lets you prepare classic dishes from Indian kitchens across five levels. Each level begins with a short title screen and moves into a kitchen where a lady chef stands ready to cook, with the ingredients and utensils laid out around her. Your task is to choose the right ingredients and add them at the right time: flour, salt, water and butter for the roti dough, lemon and mint for a refreshing drink, vegetables and carrots for the soup, rice, chicken, turmeric, chilli and biryani masala for the biryani, and oil, a stove, a pan and boiling water to bring it all together. The recipes are rich in Indian flavours, so as you play you also pick up the names of ingredients and the order in which a dish is made. A timer counts down every level, a chances counter shows how many mistakes you can afford, and a wrong click costs you. Perfect actions add to your score, with points awarded in hundreds as each level is completed, and a target score has to be reached to earn a prize. There is a story screen to set the scene, a Help screen that explains the controls, background music, a score board with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly views, and a game over or win screen at the end, followed by a scratch card for a winning run. It is entirely mouse-driven and runs in a 650 by 500 window, which makes it an enjoyable game for cooking fans and a nice showcase for Indian food.
