Description

Indian food like you've never seen it before, in a unique vegan cookbook with over 100 stunningly photographed plant-based recipes and tons of health tips from a doctor who shows that food is the best medicine.

Dr. Sheil Shukla grew up eating these traditional dishes at mealtimes with his Indian immigrant family, and now, he uses his medical background to break down why they're not just delicious - they're great for your health, too.

Each recipe in Plant-Based India includes an explanation of its ingredients' health benefits (and the benefits of eating a fully plant-based diet), drawn from scientific evidence.

Here are nutritious, exciting recipes for each component of a balanced meal in the thali tradition: vegetables, grains, flatbread, salad, pickles, and snacks, along with condiments, spice blends, sweets, and drinks.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
