From the Inside Flap:

"Dakshin" is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning "south". It symbolizes what this cookbook is all about -- the best and most delicious of South Indian vegetarian cuisine. Filled with tempting recipes and evocative photographs, Dakshin: Vegetarian Cuisine from South India presents the finest cooking from this region.

Drawn from the states of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh, and the union territory of Pondicherry, the recipes in this book bring traditional South Indian cuisine within the reach of any cook in any kitchen.

From sambars and rasams, to cooling desserts and sweet treats, Dakshin takes you through the elements of South Indian meals, including chutneys and pickles, rice dishes, pakoras, payasams, poriyals, kootus, bondas, and vadais.

With its use of fresh produce and a healthy and balanced approach to eating, Dakshin is an ideal cookbook for today's lifestyle -- for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike -- and the perfect introduction to South Indian cuisine.
