Book Description
From Booklist
Southern Indian dishes are less familiar restaurant fare generally, but as India's cuisine becomes more popular, interest increases in the cooking of this region. Kingman spent her early years in the state of Madras, now called Tamil
Nadu. She offers illuminating descriptions of the influences of cultural and religious traditions on food and how ingredients are mixed together to produce balance. One favorite southern Indian dish that often appears on menus, masala dosai, consists of
pancakes stuffed with a potato and vegetable filling. Kingman provides directions for this and numerous other delicacies, including fish and seafood dishes, which are a cornerstone of festive Madras meals. Alice Joyce--This text refers to the
Hardcover edition.
