How to play this prompt

Strategy notes specific to “Name a famous Indian dish” — not generic advice.

Food prompts reward specificity: the generic version of your answer is Plankton, the specific version is Rare.

Your edge here is Rogan Josh: specific, valid, and far from the crowd's first thought. If it feels slightly too obscure to say out loud, that's usually the sign it's worth real points. Bank Chana Masala as your backup — same logic, different answer.

Watch out for Butter Chicken. It's valid, but validity isn't the game — rarity is. Chicken Tikka Masala has the same problem: everyone knows it, so everyone types it, so it scores like everyone.

The middle of the bank tells the real story: Dosa lands in Rare while Butter Chicken sits in Plankton — same prompt, wildly different rarity. That gap is exactly where the points hide.

Build yourself a mental shelf for this prompt: Palak Paneer, Samosa, Chana Masala. They're different answers, same rarity neighborhood — and that neighborhood is where dives are won.

Rated 3/5 difficulty with 11 banked answers — a balanced prompt where rare-answer thinking decides everything.
