  Dakshin is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning south . It symbolizes what this book is all about - the best of South Indian vegetarian cuisine. 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 the reader 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 well-suited to today's lifestyle, for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
