Pinpoint 748 Answer & Full Analysis
At first, this looked more like curries than the real category. Butter chicken pushed me in that direction immediately. Vindaloo kept that theory alive for a moment, but Palak paneer still did not quite fit.
That was the moment the first idea stopped working.
Then Palak paneer made me stop thinking about curries and start thinking about the real category.
Butter chicken fit once I read it through the answer.
Vindaloo fit once I read it through the answer.
The answer was Indian foods.
Naan and Biryani then felt less surprising and more like the last pieces falling into place.
Looking back, the answer feels obvious in the best way.
