is there a way to specify our own recovery url in recovery email

What do you mean by “your own recovery URL” ?

`{{ .RecoveryURL }}`
will include the correct recovery URL in the email template.

if you have configured a custom UI, the URL will automatically point to that.
Custom UI docs: <https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/bring-your-user-interface>

but in the email our user will still see the ory url, right

There are two methods available: `link` or `code`.
<https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/account-recovery-password-reset>

But yes in both cases the user will see the URL they either have to click or open to input the code

what is the setting UI meant for ?
when i click on the recovery link from email , it is redirectying to setting `ui/settings`
then what is the purpose of `recovery Ui`

see here for an example for the recovery UI:
<https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/account-recovery-password-reset#code-examples>

You get redirected to a setting flow through the recovery, bc it allows you to change credentials (i.e. recover your account)
