This Chocolate Chāi Mousse with Berries by Sheil Shukla is subtly spiced with chāi flavors. The ground tea leaves give it a slightly astringent and bitter taste that contrasts well with sweet berries. This is best when fresh berries are at their summertime peak. The creaminess comes from silken tofu, available in vacuum-packed containers in the Asian or dairy aisles of many supermarkets. Not only is this dessert delicious, but it’s also nutritious! Dark chocolate and berries are rich in antioxidants. Berries have anti-cancer properties, and dark chocolate plays a role in heart health, too.

6. Healthy Mixed Berry Crumble

8. Tindorā

Source: Tindorā

Tindorā, also known as gilodā or ivy gourd, are slender, pale-green gourds that make one of my favorite childhood shāks. In this Tindorā by Sheil Shukla, the tindorā is cooked until it’s just tender but retains some bite; then it’s stir-fried with a classic combination of spices. Tindorā can be found at Indian grocers (fresh tindorā cooks better than frozen), but if unavailable, fresh green beans (halved lengthwise) may be substituted.

9. Makāi No Chevdo

The term chevdo typically refers to a crunchy snack but makāi no chevdo is essentially Gujarāt’s take on creamed corn. I firmly believe that every season needs something cozy, and this is one to enjoy during corn’s favorite season: summer! Since corn maintains much of its glory when frozen, this Makāi No Chevdo by Sheil Shukla is a welcome addition to the table any time of the year.
