Nala

Nala maharaja was not only a King but known for his culinary skills.
His kingdom was known for prosperity but he had a passion for cooking.
His style of cooking was known as Nalapaka.

Nala's hobby helped him during his days of difficulty. Bhimasena was also known for his culinary skills. It also helped him during his tough times. But nobody calls bhimasena's cooking style as "bhimapaka" I don't know why:) .

    How interesting! I thought I was reasonably conversant with Indian cuisine, but I've never heard of Nalapaka.

      Yes he could cook for two thousand people at a time! The taste of his cooking was exceptional and His cooking methods are still followed (whichever is remembered in the recent past) in South India

      Many Indian recipes are based on Nala Maharaja's style of cooking. :)

Zodiac signs

Zodiac signs' dictionary meaning is: "an imaginary area of the sky containing the positions of the sun, the moon and the main planets, divided into 12 equal parts, named after 12 groups of stars. It is interesting to see how these stars effect the life of each individual living on Earth. This study of stars is an ancient science which rises curiosity in everyone. The study depends on the date of birth of the individual in the western countries and on the birth star in the Hindu astrology. The zodiac signs plays a vital role in match making and other aspects in Indian arranged marriage. Some people have strong beliefs in the forecast of these zodiac signs. However I do not believe in the predictions of the zodiac signs :) Jahnavi Participating in A to Z challenge
