Source: Shodhganga: Dietetics and culinary art in ancient and medieval IndiaKevalānna (केवलान्न) refers to a type of dish featuring “cooked rice” (bhakta) 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.—According to Bhojanakutūhala, the cooked rice is prepared through the following steps. The rice grains should be washed at first. Then it should be cooked in water. The ratio between rice and water is 1:5. After cooking, the excess water is poured off. This preparation is called bhakta. This can be served as a dish which is termed as kevalānna in Bhojanakutūhala. Thus we have seen that mere rice cooked well, is known by the term kevalānna. In the same way rice can cooked with different constituents.
