Khana Kya Banau
Khana Kya Banau is a free web-based AI meal planning tool built specifically for Indian households. It generates a full week of breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and dinners in a single session, replacing the recurring daily question of what to cook. Plans are tuned to regional cuisines and to the days a household eats vegetarian, so the suggestions match familiar home cooking rather than generic international recipes. The tool pairs each weekly plan with an automatically generated shopping list, which it says cuts down on repeated trips to the market and impulse purchases. Recipe videos accompany the dishes, and the entire experience is available in 10 Indian languages. Curated plan templates are offered for common goals, including North Indian vegetarian, high-protein vegetarian, non-vegetarian, a 1,400 kcal weight-loss plan, and a budget plan sized to roughly ₹1,500 per week. The product is positioned around cost and time savings: fewer shopping trips, less food waste, and less daily decision fatigue. It requires no signup to start. A public feedback board lets users suggest and upvote features, and a contact form collects questions and feedback. The site is free to use and lists privacy policy and terms pages, indicating it is operated as a hosted service rather than self-hosted software. Beyond text plans, Khana Kya Banau leans on media and language coverage as differentiators: recipe videos for execution, and multilingual output for households that prefer planning in a language other than English.

Problem solved
Indian home cooks face the recurring daily burden of deciding what to cook, typically answering the question multiple times a day. Khana Kya Banau reduces that to one weekly decision by generating a complete plan across breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner that respects regional cuisine preferences and vegetarian days, and by converting the plan into a consolidated shopping list so families shop once instead of repeatedly.
