The most knowledgeable person I know on Sanskrit, Prakrit, and Tamil cookbooks is Andrea Gutierrez, a PhD candidate at the University of Texas at Austin.  You should be able to find her email address on the UTA website. 

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?
