There is an excellent book entitled "Historical Dictionary of Indian Food", 
available from Oxford University Press, costing about $35.  It probably does 
touch on the antiquity of the various breads so popular and important in 
Indian cookery.  Unfortunately, this book sold VERY poorly, even at Pennsic, 
and I've stopped carrying it.  Maybe a large library might have it.

In terms of vegetarian meals, Indians of the Hindu religion are I believe 
very often fairly strict vegetarians, so perhaps using their recipes and meal 
plans would ensure that one got good balance and nutrition in meals.
