Healthy South Indian Cooking focuses on easy-to-follow recipes for preparing aromatic and healthful foods using legumes and spices. It presents an introduction to the culinary delights of South India where the cuisine is exceptionally appetizing and appealing. Clear and simple instructions make the recipes accessible to even novice cooks.

This book is the fruitful result of two neighbors sharing recipes and cooking together for many years even before the thought of publication. These informal cooking sessions resulted in many enjoyable family meals which combined eastern and western dishes.  The memorable family experiences led the authors to write their cookbooks in the hope of sharing the joy of cooking that they have known.

Features:  Includes over 100 vegetarian and non-vegetarian recipes
