Warm food photograph of milky masala chai being poured from a dented brass kettle into a rustic clay kulhad, a ribbon of steam rising, whole spices scattered on a weathered wooden table, green cardamom, cinnamon sticks, star anise and fresh ginger slices, a plate of crisp rusks beside it, soft early-morning side light through a window, warm haze, 85mm lens at f/2, shallow depth of field, earthy amber palette, comforting homely mood.

Flux follows plain descriptive language closely. Set the aspect ratio in your app's size setting; negative prompts are not needed.

Tips to get more from it

  • A dark background behind the pour makes the steam far more visible.
  • Swap rusks for samosas or parle-style biscuits to match your menu.
  • Try a top-down flat lay of the spices only for packaging artwork.

Questions about this prompt

Which AI model is this food photography prompt written for?

It was written and tested for Flux, but the format buttons above rewrite it for Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Flux, Ideogram and Leonardo, so you can paste it into the tool you already use.

Can I change the aspect ratio or style?

Yes. The prompt is set for 4:3, which suits this composition. In Midjourney change the --ar value; in other apps pick the size in settings. Use the remix panel to swap the style, lighting, camera or mood without rewriting the whole prompt.

Is this prompt free to use for commercial work?

The prompt text is free to copy, edit and use. Whether you can sell the image depends on the terms of the AI model that generates it, so check your plan on that platform before using results commercially.
