Story #1: Pandava Pravesaparva
Resource: VedicFeed, Wikipedia
This part of the Virata Parva tells the story of how the Pandavas first enter the royal court of Virata. While Bhima is not necessarily the primary character in this story, if the project is going to center on Bhima's time in Virata, this seems like a natural place to start! This story could include Bhima's reactions to the choices that his brothers make for the positions that they will occupy in court, as well as his thoughts on the course of events that has made him have to be in Virata.
Story #2: Samayaplana Parva
Resource: VedicFeed, WisdomLib
This was one of the stories in the Virata Parva where Bhima really got the chance to shine. While Bhima is not necessarily cooking in this particular story, it would be possible to start it with Bhima in the midst of cooking some delicacy and then being summoned to fight Jimuta. How does Bhima feel about having to revert his role back to his fighting self?
Story #3: Creation of Aviyal
Resource: Masterchefs of Lore, Recipe for Aviyal
In this story, there are surprise guests at the court in Virata, and Bhima is asked to make a feast. Caught off guard, he is forced to make one dish with only the ingredients on hand- this dish becoming known as Aviyal! I would really like to include a recipe with each of my blog posts, and this story already had one built in! It seems perfect for this cold weather too....
