You may want to take a look at K.T. Achaya: A Historical Dictionary of Indian Food. Oxford 1998 which has various glossaries, in Indian languages, including one of the Latin names and also Achaya's Companion … do not have the volume on hand at the moment. The Companion has a lot about grains, etc.

A cookbook approx from the 17th century called Pākaprakaraṇa, translated into German by grad student under the guidance of Professor W. Rau.

Is there such a thing as a specialized Sanskrit glossary for different food products, particularly grains and pulses? If such resources exist, I'd be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Also, does the term mudrā in the sense of 'fried grain' actually occur outside of Tantric contexts, for instance in cookbooks?
