\"VibrantVibrant India<\/a>, Chitra Agrawal’s ode to South Indian vegetarian cooking is due out on March 21 from Ten Speed Press. You might know Chitra from her blog, ABCD’s of Cooking<\/a>, or her condiment line, Brooklyn Delhi.<\/a>\u00a0In the book, she’s sharing a\u00a0collection of quick vegetable stirfrys, salads, chutneys and pickles, rice dishes and hearty vegetarian stews.<\/p>\n

I’ve cooked two dishes from the book so far: the\u00a0Potato Stirfry with Onion and Ginger, and the\u00a0Cabbage and Lemon Stirfry with Curry Leaves<\/a>. \u00a0With cabbage bound to be cheap in the next week, you’ll definitely want to give it a try. It’s amazing what a little coconut can do for a humble cabbage.<\/p>\n

\"cabbageI’m working up to making the masala dosa recipe this weekend, when I’ve got time to let the batter ferment, so there’s more to come. I’ll be doing a full review closer to Vibrant India’s release on March 21, but in the meantime, you can check out a preview<\/a>\u00a0with several recipes on Google Books,\u00a0or\u00a0pre-order on Amazon<\/a>\u00a0— the book is currently 1\/3 off.<\/p>\n
