Hindi phonetic search — Search "aloo", "palak", "gobhi", or "moong" and the tool understands
Voice search support — Speak in Indian English or Hindi to add foods hands-free
Budget scoring in ₹ — Price efficiency is calculated in Indian market prices, editable to your local rates
Export for dietitians — PDF and HTML reports carry full ICMR-NIN citations and a professional disclaimer for clinical sharing

Is this tool suitable for diabetics or people with specific conditions?
This tool is for informational and general guidance only. The Glycemic Index and diabetic-friendly flag can help you compare options, but always consult a registered dietitian for personalised medical dietary advice.
