Using these hashtags well

Name the dish and the region
#hyderabadifood or #dalrecipe finds people who want exactly that dish. #food or #yummy gives no direction.
Post the recipe steps in the caption
Tags bring people to the post; the steps keep them there and make them save it. List ingredients in the text.
Add a diet tag when it is true
If the dish is vegan, jain or high-protein, tag it so people on those diets find it. Only use them when accurate.

Questions

Which hashtags should I use for Indian recipes?

Pick a regional tag such as #punjabifood, a dish tag such as #paneerrecipe, and a format tag like #recipereels for videos.

Are the same hashtags fine for a bakery page?

Home cooks and bakery businesses search differently. For a bakery, check the dedicated bakery and food business pages.
