So now which word is best and what's its plural form? The meaning is simply a recipe for a dish/food, how to cook it and what ingredients belong in it.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The problem was that you have 2 Submit buttons. Once for grading with comments and KudoZ entry option, then once more to send a "Note to answerer". Well, why on earth would you NOT combine the two? I doesn't make any sense! If you know ANYTHING about programming, then you should know that it IS possible to collect all the info in a form and then submit it at the end/bottom ONCE, even if some parts of the form have been left blank. Again, if you don't know this, leave web programming to somebody else! So change it ASAP (yes, now) and have ONLY ONE (1) SUBMIT BUTTON, not two! Avoid confusion, don't create it!!!
Your new system is garbage! I clicked on "Select this answer as most helpful" with the "enter into KudoZ" box checked and NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happens. After refreshing still nothing! Then I clicked on Close and ONLY on the next page it asked me, why I wanted to close it without grading. But I didn't want to close it without grading! Your programmer has to THINK, use his brain and therefore KNOW that just "Close" by itself on THIS page does not mean that we want to close it without grading. So on the next page you don't have the right to INTERPRET it that way! Don't make assumptions, instead say it RIGHT HERE on THIS page that by "Close" you mean "Close without grading"! The two are NOT the same! If you don't understand this, then go home and leave this job to somebody else! There are people lining up for your job in this recession. And don't even try to be smart about telling me now that this is a technical issue, which I should have posted somewhere else! No, I'm tired of having to do your programmer's job, so I was kind enough to let you know AT ALL on THIS page, so now just take it from here and FIX IT, so others won't have to put up with this!
And once we decided on that, there's one last question: dash or no dash (hyphen or no hyphen)? Because I checked out your link below and there that poet was using it without the dash (hyphen in British). So which version is correct (and why)? Is the poet right or wrong? Thank you for your patience!
Now I can see that that's the same problem then with नुस्खा, because while it may be "recipe" per se, what kind of recipe comes to an Indian's mind FIRST? A dish recipe or a disaster recipe or recipe for success, for example? I mean, if the FIRST thought is about food in case of नुस्खा, then it's good. After all, the English word is general, too. But in English and many other languages it's the food that comes to mind FIRST, not the general sense. So is this the same in Hindi with नुस्खा? Is food the FIRST THOUGHT or not?
No, I dont think the word नुस्खा would be misunderstood. It is quite close to the English word "formula" so I think we can use it where we talk about any formula, whether it is a "Dish" or a "Bomb"
