Normally, when you want to cook something, you look into a recipe book or mobile app to decide what you want to cook, note down the ingredients, go to store, get the greetings, reach back home and start cooking.
 
I’m a lazy guy and I can’t do all that work, but I love to cook. Instead of conventional way, I take the reverse approach i.e. I will first check what ingredients I have in the house and then decide what to cook.  I have been cooking since I was 15 and that has become second nature to me. But most people can’t think that way. So I wished they had some kinda app, which could do that.  Just enter the ingredients and it returns what you can cook.
 
I.M.P. is the Ingredient Match Percentage. Suppose you entered 5 ingredients and searched for the recipes. If the recipe has 50% I.M.P., that means you have five out of 10 ingredients of that recipe. Higher the I.M.P., higher the probability you can cook it the exact same way.
