its not politically correct, its true! for western-friendly indian food,
this book (or related ones listed at the link below) is quite popular:

essentially anything by madhur jaffrey sells well.

for southern (particularly tamil and some telugu/kannada) indian food,
meenakshi ammal's "samaithu paar" (cook and see) is *the* bible
(warning: this book is not customized for a western audience):

also see: http://www.bawarchi.com/ for recipes. my hindi is very poor,
but i believe 'bawarchi' means 'cook'.
