That's a lovely looking cookbook. I found it on Amazon for considerably
less than $35 (the list price.)
My Indian cookbook is an ancient one, published in 1954 in India,
written by Savitri Chowdhary, simply titled Indian Cooking. A friend
who was living in India in the 1960s sent me the copy, and I've used it
ever since. It's simple, the recipes are not complex at all -- a good
thing for me. Measurements are a bit odd - teacupfuls and such, and I
had to expand my vocabulary to include sultanas and aubergines.

I will have to look for that one. We have a really nifty used bookstore
close by. I will see if they have a copy of that. DH said he would gladly
buy me all the Indian cookbooks I could find so long as I cooked stuff out
of them. heh heh It's a toss up which I have more of, cookbooks or sewing
books. ;)

I don't recall eating any Indian food, but the sweetened buttermilk sounds
good; I do like buttermilk.
I grew up in the city, but often visited several aunts & uncles who had
farms w/cattle.
Fresh-churned buttermilk was my favorite drink anytime.

Just add a little sugar to your taste, some vanilla if you want.
Buttermilk shakes are also very yummy. Add some fruit and ice, give it
a whirl in your blender. It has a tartness that I find very refreshing.

Thanks, Juno! As soon as I come down from the clouds(excitement from
visiting the latest addition to the family), I have to grocery-shop.
