Siddhānna (सिद्धान्न) refers to “culinary art” as described in the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—Siddhānna-prakaraṇa is a section which mainly deals with culinary art. Here varieties of cooked food items, their preparation and their properties are discussed in detail. [...] Siddhānna-prakaraṇa describes the recipes and properties of different dishes. We can categorize the dishes into eight types based on their main ingredients. They are rice dishes, wheat dishes, samita dishes, black-gram dishes, milk dishes, meat dishes, sweets and miscellaneous dishes.
