##INSPIRATION: ##This app came from our bellies-literally! This team is made of foodies and we thought everyone should experience the joy of being a foodie :)

Working of the app: ##You have basic ingredients and don't wanna go shopping to make a fancy meal but at the same time want something yummy and nutritious? Ezपकवान has your back. This isn't just an app. It's your savior. Scan or type in your ingredients and the app becomes your personal chef. Whether you have cravings but no money to go out or your gym goals are still not achieved, Ezपकवान has it all. Your stomach grumbles and Ezपकवान's dishes rumble!

Our team members and main coder-Pakhi , used GEMINI AI and tools to make our food cravings a reality. We built the app prototype using Gemini AI Studio by starting with a clear idea of the app’s purpose and core features. We used natural-language prompts to describe the app flow, user interface, and functionality, and Gemini helped generate design suggestions, feature logic, and sample interactions. We iteratively refined the prototype by testing different prompts, adjusting layouts, and improving user experience based on the AI’s outputs. This approach allowed us to quickly visualize the app, experiment with ideas, and make improvements without writing full code, making the development process faster and more efficient.

What challenges did we face :##While making the app prototype using Gemini AI Studio, we faced several challenges. One major challenge was clearly explaining our ideas to the AI, as vague prompts sometimes led to outputs that didn’t match the intended design or functionality. Refining prompts took time and multiple iterations to get accurate results. Another challenge was maintaining consistency in the app’s user interface and flow, since AI-generated suggestions could vary across different screens. we had to carefully evaluate the AI’s outputs to ensure they were practical and user-friendly, as not all suggestions were suitable for real-world use. One challenge we faced was a compilation issue while working on the app prototype. Since the AI-generated logic and structure were not always perfectly aligned, some components did not compile or connect correctly when putting everything together. This required us to carefully review the generated elements, identify errors, and make manual adjustments to ensure compatibility. Resolving these compiling issues took extra time, but it helped us better understand how different parts of the app interact and improved the overall stability of the prototype.

What accomplishment are you proud of: ##Building this app not only helped me (Naila) grow as a team leader but also as a team member. People listen to their hearts; we listened to our bellies. We've learnt so much while developing this app.

When the map feature of Ezपकवान worked and pinpointed locations was a proud feeling indeed. The next big thing for us while developing this app was to get the recipes and filters to be just right. Ideas are the spark of an invention, but execution is what carries the flame ahead. We have a long-way to go but we can all proudly say that we have learnt How to build, How to manage and most importantly How to be creative.

What we learned: We learnt how to work together as a team, use tools and think outside the box. We have learnt how to communicate with AI and work smarter.

What's next for Ezपकवान:##We plan to have a marketing campaign for Ezपकवान where we collaborate with mainly renowned chefs, fitness freaks, social media creators and sometimes simply college students, who wish to save their bank. We provide a platform for the unrecognised but full of potential young chefs. The review and engagement system helps them build their credibility and encourage their art.

Through Ezपकवान, we aim to build more than just a food app. We’re creating a community where creativity meets practicality. This is just the beginning and we’re excited to see how far this journey, powered by passion, innovation, and a love for food, will take us.
