A while ago there was a discussion of South Indian food.  I made it to
Annapurna again before it closed and I tried Chola's.  Now, my
question is, where can I get a cookbook for South Indian food?  I
would like to make sambar, rasam, etc.  Does anyone have any
suggestions of cookbooks or stores in which to buyt them?

Thanks,
Dave

There is a book by S. Meenakshi Ammal called "Cook and See" which
although difficult to follow sometimes, is generally considered the
bible of southern Indian cooking.  I don't know if you can get
it in this country; I got mine from friends who were in Madras
recently.  I also have a book called "A Cook's Tour of South India"
by Vimla Patil, which is pretty decent, and which you could probably
get by special order.  I can get the ISBN number if you're interested.
Also, the Indian store on River St. in Central Square sells paperback
cookbooks; I think I saw a south Indian one in the racks.

I have never been there, but someone told me that Asian Books on Arrow St.
in Harvard Square is a good place to find/order books that you can't
get through other stores.

And if you're really desperate, contact me and I can send you Meenakshi
Ammal's tomato rasam recipe. :-)

Although this has nothing to do with a "real" cookbook...... :-)

wpi.wpi.edu has a postscript collection of indian recipes compiled by a
grad student, and having tried some of them, I had to recommend it!

It's available through public ftp in pub/recipes.  Enjoy!
