Tagine Steam Lift is a v7 prompt built around the moment the lid comes off. It backlights the steam so the plume glows against the warm interior.

How to use this prompt
The steam is the subject, and steam is invisible unless it is backlit, so the prompt puts warm light through a doorway behind the pot and calls the plume backlit and glowing. Front light makes steam vanish against the food. The conical lid is the tagine's signature shape, so name it — a generic pot lid loses the dish entirely. Keep the lid only just lifted, mid-motion, because a lid set aside is a static serving shot. Terracotta and saffron tones tie the vessel to the food and keep the palette coherent.
Variations to try
- The tagine still sealed, steam just beginning to escape the rim
- Two hands carrying the tagine to the table on a woven mat
