Hi Manoo,

Hiiiii Kaviarun,
pls try to avoid any wares which hav too much bright designs on it like fruits,letters etc. The actual appearance of the recipe cant be seen. If you check mam is using plain (black or while) wares. Your pic wud luk good then. And the last thing, try avoiding colourful backgrounds. It works trust me.
God Bless
