You do not need an account to see ratings; you only need to be signed in to leave one.<\/div>\n<h2>Quick answer<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Rating stars on an Utsav Recipes card show the average score from home cooks who have rated that dish, so you can compare popular, well-reviewed recipes at a glance while you scroll the browse grid. The stars sit on the card itself, next to the photo, title and the quick labels, so you never have to open a recipe to see how it was received.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Before you begin<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You do not need an account to see rating stars. The browse grid and every recipe page are open to anyone.<\/li>\n<li>Open Utsav Recipes from the profile dropdown on the main site, or go straight to the browse page at <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/browse-recipes\/\">https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/browse-recipes\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>To leave a rating of your own you must be signed in. If a sign-in box appears when you try to rate a dish, you are signed out &mdash; sign in and open the recipe again.<\/li>\n<li>This article explains how the stars work and how to read them. It is not a click-by-click walkthrough, so there are no screenshots to follow.<\/li>\n<li>If a term here is unfamiliar, the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=12219\">Utsav Recipes glossary<\/a> defines recipe cards, the browse page and the rest of the vocabulary used across these guides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What do the rating stars mean?<\/h2>\n<p>The stars are a row of five, filled to show the <strong>average<\/strong> score a recipe has been given by the members who rated it. A recipe sitting near five stars has pleased almost everyone who cooked it. One sitting nearer the middle has had a mixed reception &mdash; which is not the same as a bad recipe, and often just means the dish divides opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Two things are worth being clear about. The stars are a <strong>community score, not an editorial one<\/strong>: nobody at MyMahotsav awards them, and they are not a badge, a rank or a seal of approval. And they are an average of many opinions rather than one person&rsquo;s verdict, so the fill you see rarely lands neatly on a whole star.<\/p>\n<p>If a recipe shows no stars at all, that simply means nobody has rated it yet. New recipes always start that way.<\/p>\n<h2>How is the average calculated?<\/h2>\n<p>It is a straight average. Every rating a recipe has ever received is added together and divided by the number of ratings, and every rating counts exactly the same &mdash; no rating is weighted more heavily for being recent, or for coming from a particular member. Each time somebody new rates the dish, the average is worked out again and the stars on the card follow.<\/p>\n<p>That is why the star display also tells you something about <strong>how many<\/strong> home cooks have rated the dish so far, even before you look at any numbers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A recipe with a single rating shows that one person&rsquo;s score. It can look outstanding or poor on very little evidence.<\/li>\n<li>As more people rate it, the average settles and stops swinging with each new opinion.<\/li>\n<li>A long-standing dish with many ratings gives you a far more reliable picture than a brand-new one with two.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#f4f6f8;border-left:4px solid #9aa4b2;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#8505;&#65039; <strong>Note<\/strong><br \/>An average is only ever as good as the number of ratings behind it. Treat a five-star recipe with one rating as a promising find rather than a proven favourite, and give more weight to dishes that have been rated by plenty of people.<\/div>\n<h2>Where do the stars appear on a recipe card?<\/h2>\n<p>A recipe card is the small preview panel that stands for one dish in any listing. It carries the recipe photo, the title, a short description, and a set of quick labels such as timing and difficulty. The star average sits among those labels, so all the information you need to choose between two dishes is on the card itself.<\/p>\n<p>Because the same card is used everywhere recipes are listed, the stars travel with it &mdash; you will see them on the browse grid, on the rows of recipes on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=12216\">Utsav Recipes homepage<\/a>, on category, cuisine and tag pages, and in the related-recipe strips at the foot of a recipe.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I see ratings without opening a recipe?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, and that is exactly what the stars on the card are for. You can scan a whole page of dishes, take in the photo, the title, the timing and the community score together, and open only the ones worth a closer look. There is no need to click into a recipe, wait for it to load and click back out again just to find out how it was received.<\/p>\n<p>Opening the recipe still tells you more, of course &mdash; the full method, the notes and whatever reviewers wrote. The card is the shortlist; the recipe page is the decision.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff6f1;border-left:4px solid #e0592b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#128161; <strong>Tip<\/strong><br \/>You do not have to compare stars by eye. The browse page has a <strong>Sort by<\/strong> menu that can order the results by rating as well as by date and title, so the best-received dishes come to the top of the grid. Choose your option, then use the search button beside it to apply it.<\/div>\n<h2>How stars, hearts and reviews differ<\/h2>\n<p>Three things on a recipe are easily confused, and only one of them is the rating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>stars<\/strong> are a score. They are public, they are pooled with everyone else&rsquo;s, and they are what the card displays.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>heart<\/strong> saves a recipe to your own favourites so you can find it again. It is about you, not about the dish, and it never moves the average.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong>written review<\/strong> is the comment that may accompany a rating. It lives on the recipe page, where there is room to read it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What the stars will not tell you<\/h2>\n<p>Stars are a useful shortcut, not a full verdict. They measure how a dish landed with the people who cooked it &mdash; nothing more. In particular, a high average does not promise that a recipe is quick, cheap, authentic to a region, or suitable for your diet. For those, read the quick labels on the card and the recipe itself; dietary and nutrition filtering has its own controls on the browse page.<\/p>\n<p>Nor do stars reorder anything on their own. The browse grid is ordered by date unless you choose a different sort, so a very well-rated dish can still sit some way down the page.<\/p>\n<h2>What ratings mean if you publish recipes<\/h2>\n<p>Ratings arrive after your recipe is live and other members start cooking it, so a newly published dish having no stars is completely normal. The score belongs to your readers rather than to you: it is not a field you fill in, and it is not something you can adjust. If a rating looks abusive rather than merely unflattering, contact support instead of trying to remove it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that surprises new Recipe Creators: editing a recipe that is already live sends it back for review, and it comes off the public pages until a Content Editor approves it again. Its stars have not been lost &mdash; the whole recipe is simply out of sight for a while. There is more on that in the <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=12406\">publishing FAQ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips and best practices<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Read the stars together with the number of people behind them. Consistency matters more than a perfect score.<\/li>\n<li>Use ratings to shortlist, not to decide. Open two or three well-rated recipes and pick the one whose method and ingredients suit you.<\/li>\n<li>Rate the dishes you actually cook. Every rating you leave makes the average more useful for the next person, and a recipe with no ratings stays invisible in a comparison.<\/li>\n<li>Rate the recipe as written. If you swapped half the ingredients, you cooked something else &mdash; say so in the review rather than marking the original down for it.<\/li>\n<li>If you are new to the product, <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/knowledgebase\/?post_type=docs&amp;p=12214\">What is Utsav Recipes?<\/a> sets out how browsing, saving and publishing fit together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#eef8f0;border-left:4px solid #2e9e5b;border-radius:8px;padding:14px 18px;margin:22px 0;line-height:1.6;\">&#127919; <strong>Best practice<\/strong><br \/>Combine ratings with filters rather than using them alone. Narrow the browse page to the category, cuisine or dietary need you actually want first, then let the stars choose between what is left. A four-star recipe you can cook tonight beats a five-star one you have not got the ingredients for.<\/div>\n<h2>Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<h3>A recipe I like shows no stars at all<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> nobody has rated it yet. This is normal for a recently published dish, and for recipes in quieter categories. <strong>Fix:<\/strong> nothing is broken &mdash; cook it, then rate it yourself so the next reader has something to go on. <strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> no recipe anywhere on the browse page shows stars, which suggests a display fault rather than an unrated dish.<\/p>\n<h3>The average barely moved after I rated the dish<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> one new rating hardly shifts an average that is already built on many. A single five-star rating added to fifty existing ones changes the figure by a fraction of a star. <strong>Fix:<\/strong> refresh the page and check the recipe again; the rating has been counted even though the stars look unchanged. <strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> your rating is still nowhere to be seen on the recipe a day later.<\/p>\n<h3>My own recipe and its stars have disappeared from the browse grid<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> you almost certainly edited it. Saving changes to a live recipe returns it to the review queue, and it stays off the public pages until a Content Editor approves it. <strong>Fix:<\/strong> check its status on your recipe dashboard at <a href=\"https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/recipe-dashboard\/\">https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/recipe-dashboard\/<\/a> and wait for approval &mdash; the recipe returns with its ratings intact. <strong>Escalate if:<\/strong> it is still missing well after review, or the dashboard shows it as published while the browse page does not.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q: What do the rating stars mean?<\/strong><br \/>A: They show the average score given to that recipe by the members who have rated it, on a five-star scale. They are a community score rather than an award from MyMahotsav.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: How is the average calculated?<\/strong><br \/>A: Every rating the recipe has received is added up and divided by how many there are. All ratings count equally, and the average is recalculated each time somebody rates the dish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can I see ratings without opening a recipe?<\/strong><br \/>A: Yes. The average is printed on the recipe card itself, so you can compare dishes straight from the browse grid without opening any of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Where do the stars appear on the card?<\/strong><br \/>A: Alongside the quick labels such as timing and difficulty, next to the photo and title. Because the same card appears on the homepage, the browse page and category, cuisine and tag pages, the stars show up in all of those places too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do I need an account to see ratings?<\/strong><br \/>A: No. Anyone can browse recipes and read their ratings. You only need to sign in to leave a rating of your own or to save a recipe to your favourites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do ratings change the order recipes appear in?<\/strong><br \/>A: Not by default &mdash; the browse grid lists the newest recipes first. You can choose to order the results by rating from the <strong>Sort by<\/strong> menu on the browse page.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-mahi=\"context\">\nAlso asked as: what do the stars on a recipe mean on Utsav Recipes, how is the recipe rating average calculated, why does a recipe have no stars, can I see a recipe rating without opening it, where are ratings shown on a recipe card, what is a good star rating for a recipe, do ratings affect the order of the browse grid, who gives recipe ratings on MyMahotsav, difference between the stars and the favourite heart, my recipe lost its stars after editing. Applies to: Utsav Recipes recipe ratings (Ratings, Favourites and Community). Where to find it: the profile dropdown on the main site, then Utsav Recipes; the browse grid at https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/browse-recipes\/ and any individual recipe page; a Recipe Creator checks their own recipes at https:\/\/mymahotsav.com\/utsav-recipes\/recipe-dashboard\/. Canonical facts: rating stars are a row of five filled to show the average score left by members who rated the dish; the average is a straight mean of every rating, all ratings weighted equally, recalculated whenever a new rating is added; no stars means the recipe has not been rated yet, not that it is faulty; ratings are visible to everyone including signed-out visitors, but leaving a rating requires being signed in; the average appears on the recipe card next to the photo, title, short description and quick labels such as timing and difficulty, so it can be read from the browse grid, the homepage rows, category, cuisine and tag pages and related-recipe strips without opening the recipe; the star rating is public and pooled, the favourite heart is a private save that never affects the average, and a written review is the optional comment beside a rating; ratings do not reorder the browse grid, which is newest-first by default, but the browse page Sort by menu can order results by rating; ratings cannot be edited or removed by the recipe author, and an abusive rating should be reported to support; editing a live recipe returns it to the review queue and takes it off the public pages until a Content Editor approves it, after which it returns with its ratings intact.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rating stars on an Utsav Recipes card show the average score left by home cooks who have rated that dish, so you can compare popular, well-reviewed recipes at a glance while you scroll the browse grid.
