Plant-Based India: Nourishing Recipes Rooted in Tradition

Plant-Based India is a vibrant celebration of India’s plant-forward culinary traditions brought to life through over 100 completely vegan recipes and stunning photography. It’s a cookbook rooted in heritage and family: Dr. Sheil Shukla learned to love traditional Gujarati fare while cooking alongside his beloved ba (grandmother) during summers in Mumbai.

During medical training, Dr. Shukla discovered the power of plant-based nutrition to help prevent and manage chronic illness sparking a mission to reinvent the classic vegetarian dishes of his upbringing in a fully vegan form.

Inside, you’ll find recipes for shak (spiced vegetable dishes), dal (legume stews), rotli (flatbreads), bhat (rice dishes), and more dishes that feel both timeless and exciting. From Palak Tofu and vegan Naan to Navratan Rice, Dal Makhani, and Chocolate Chai Mousse with Berries, these are heartfelt recipes built around nourishing ingredients at their seasonal best.
