%{
"measuring_unit" => "tbsp",
"name" => "desiccated coconut powder",
"qty" => 4

%{
"measuring_unit" => "tbsp",
"name" => "vegetable oil, divided",
"qty" => 2
}
],
name: "Stuffed Bhindi",
other_ingredients: []
},
%{

],
name: "Normal Bhindi",
other_ingredients: []
}

I just wanted to extract the data where name = “Stuffed Bhindhi”
I tried this ingre_map = Enum.take_while(ingredientslist, fn x → ingredientslist[:name] == “Stuffed Bhindhi”)
but didn’t work getting nil

I vote for comprehensions!
for %{name: "Stuffed Bhindi"} = map <- ings, do: map # hd() if there is only one

In a pipeline if all instances implement Access
ingredients
|> Enum.filter(& &1[:name] == "Stuffed Bhindi")
|> Enum.map(& get_in(&1, [:ingredients, Access.all(), "name"]))
[
["okra/bhindi", "vegetable oil", "desiccated coconut powder",
"coriander powder", "cumin powder", "ground cumin", "cinnamon stick",
"dried mango powder, also known as amchur", "red pepper flakes",
"red chili powder", "garam masala", "turmeric powder", "salt, or to taste",
"vegetable oil, divided"]
