Dietetics and Culinary Art (such as household cooking)
Source: Shodhganga: Dietetics and culinary art in ancient and medieval IndiaDadhyodana (दध्योदन) refers to “cooked rice mixed with curds”, according to the Upaniṣads, and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—The discussions on rice can be seen only in post-Ṛgvedic literature. [...] Towards the period of Upaniṣads, different varieties of food items were prepared with rice and are named as [viz., dadhyodana (mixed with curds)]. Thus we can say that the Upaniṣadic people have done varieties of experimentations of rice and are aware about the different rice preparations.
Dadhyodana represents one of the six kinds of “cooked rice” (bhakta) as described in the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana).—[...] Cooked rice dishes are of six types based upon the different ingredients used along with rice. These, collectively called as ṣaḍvidhānna. They are [viz., dadhyanna (cooked rice mixed with curds)]. To describe this ṣaḍvidhānna the author quotes an Ayurvedic text namely Kriyāsāra.
(Dadhyanna ingredients): rice, curd, pepper, salt and wet ginger. (Cooking instructions): This is the only dish where the ingredients are added after cooking the rice. Cooked rice is mixed with twice the quantity of sweet and sour curds. Add some powdered pepper, along with salt and wet ginger to this mixture, this is called as dadhyanna.

It is interesting to note that some of the faggots (i.e. parāśa, khadira, pippala, and śamī) mentioned here are also used in the Suśrutasaṃhitā in the context (Uttaratantra chapters 27-37) of curing the diseases caused by grahas, which, in this case, are not planetary. [verse 304-305: Cooked rice (odana) to be offered to grahas]
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).
