Cooking notes

For recipes that use chickpeas, rajma, dal, rice, chhena, curd, kulfi mix or marinated chicken, plan the passive prep separately when needed. Soaking beans overnight, chilling shrikhand, freezing kulfi or marinating tandoori items improves texture, but the recipe timer should show the time a user actually spends preparing and cooking. This keeps the page honest and prevents a simple sandesh from looking like a 9 hour recipe.
