But India isn't part of the Middle East, as I
have heard it defined.  

"An area comprising the countries of southwest
Asia and northeast Africa."

or

'the area around the eastern Mediterranean; from
Turkey to North Africa and eastward to Iran; the
site of such ancient civilizations as Phoenicia
and Babylon and Egypt and the birthplace of
Judaism and Christianity and Islam; "the Middle
East is the cradle of Western civilization"'

Shouldn't you be using Charles Perry's book
"Medieval Arab Cookery"?
