It depends if you want modern South Indian or traditional. Most of the more traditional books, like Dakshin and Cook and See, will need a little knowledge about indian ingredients and techniques. Most South Indian will be gluten-free too.

🧘 Meera Sodha is good for more modern Indian. And she has a lot of online recipes. 🧘 Mridula Baljekar is prolific and has vegetarian books. 🧘 Madhur Jaffrey is very accessible. 🧘 Vegan Richa is very popular. 🧘 Ammini Ramachandran has a book, Grains, Greens and Coconuts, that is Kerala food.

🧘 Yamuna Devi's classic Lord Krishna's Kitchen is a wonderful book.

There are a few older, smaller books that are absolutely wonderful if you can find them.
📚 101 Vegetarian Delicacies
by Subramanyam Rajalakshmy
📚 Classic Book of Indian Vegetarian Curries
by Vijai Mehra
📚 Indian Vegetarian Cooking
by Devagi Sanmugam

📚 And of course, the Hare Krsna Cookbook is all online - hundreds of recipes.

None of these (apart from Dakshin, Cook and See, and Grains) are South Indian specifically. There doesn't seem to be many modern ones focusing on South Indian cuisine. If you want some suggestions for fairly traditional ones, let me know - there are a few good regional ones.

(I don't really recommend the Cook and See series, except for hard-core Indian food devotees.)
