I have a book in indian recipes, the majority of which are vegetarian.
It is available for free (anonymous ftp). 

Heres the original posting
------------------------------------------------------------------
I have collected a large number of Indian recipes off the network
and compiled  it into the form of a book called

	"The Graduate Students Guide to Indian Recipes"


This is available for anonymous ftp from
	
			wpi.wpi.edu
			130.215.24.1

(Remember to use the binary mode to get both these files)

**********************************************************************
PLEASE DO NOT MISUSE THE ANONYMOUS FTP FACILITIES PROVIDED BY GOOD
HEARTED SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS. PLEASE FTP ONLY BETWEEN 7PM AND 7AM EST.
*********************************************************************

These recipes are in the form of a postscript file and in the form
of a LaTex file. I do not have the time to convert it into 
an ascii file.

Here are the instructions to get a hard copy of the book (for those
of you not using Unix, you are on your own. Catch the local system
guru or the system adminstrator to help you)

	a) indian.recipes.ps.Z 
	   This is the postscript version of the book.
		
		% uncompress indian.recipes.ps.Z
		% lpr -Pprinter indian.recipes.ps

		where printer is the name of your postscript printer.

	b) indian.recipes.tex.Z
	   This is the LaTex version of the book.

		% uncompress indian.recipes.tex.Z
		% latex indian.recipes.tex
		% latex indian.recipes.tex
		% latex indian.recipes.tex

		Not a bug, you need to do latex thrice to get the table
		of contents right and page numbers right.

		The remaining steps vary with your system. The
		sequence is to convert the file indian.recipes.dvi 
		into a format which can be printed on your printer
		This is a possible set of events
	
		% dvips indian.recipes.dvi -o indian.recipes.ps
		% lpr -Pprinter indian.recipes.ps

		where printer is the name of your postscript printer.


DISCLAIMER: Try these recipes at your own risk!!
