What makes this volume more special is that as many as fifty fresh recipes have been added to tempt the adventurous cook who is looking for the new and unusual.

While the dishes cover a wide range from the intriguingly named 'Sheela Auntie’s Pulusu', a tamarind curry native to Andhra Pradesh, to Tamil Nadu’s festive 'Vazhakai Pulli Kuzhabu' which explore the delicate flesh of Green plantain, there are Friendly tips, too. You get to Know which vessels You need to stock the South Indian corner of Your Kitchen, how to translate the mysteries of weights and- measures and yes, finally-the failsafe way to get your rice just right.

Introduction

Cooking has always been an interesting hobby. But my tryst with South Indian cuisine began after I married. My Mother-in-law was a great cook and learnt the various aspects of south Indian cuisine from her. I am also indebted to various friend, relatives and cooks who helped to shape me into a good cook and a cookbook writer. Although my mother-in-law is no longer with us, interest and desire to research and unearth unusual recipes continues.

My earlier book were much appreciated, and work as an author has been a rewarding experience. I am frequently requested by my readers to publish a gift edition.

In the volume, I am have collected the best of South Indian Vegetarian cuisine. I have culled my favorite recipes from my previous three books and added about 50 new ones.

Although South Indian Cuisine is healthy on the whole-law on fat and rich in nutrition-nevertheless I have included a recipes for weight-watchers and the health conscious.

The recipes are from all the four states of South India, namely Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala, with samples from each state and community.

Whether you cook for your family or friend, or for a part, I hope recipes in my book whet Your ppetite and you have fun cooking!
