In 2018 she launched her own chai brand, <a href=\"http:\/\/chaibymira.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chai by Mira<\/a>, alongside a successful pop-up caf\u00e9 in London\u2019s Carnaby Street.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We recently caught a quick tea break with Mira to hear more about how her upbringing shaped her career, her approach to wellness and her passion for making ancient wisdom relevant to modern life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>How did your upbringing inspire your approach to cooking?<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I grew up eating Gujarati vegetarian food which is really healthy and naturally quite Ayurvedic &#8211; but it wasn\u2019t until much later that I truly appreciated how nourishing it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In my teens and twenties, I got caught up in this idea of what \u2018healthy\u2019 was supposed to look like &#8211; low-fat, eating little but often, all those trends\u2026 Back then, I honestly thought being healthy just meant being thin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I started cutting out things like oil, and I distanced myself from the kinds of food I\u2019d grown up with, like curries and rich home-cooked meals. I still ate Indian food, but it was always with a mindset of \u2018I shouldn\u2019t be eating too much of this.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It wasn\u2019t until my late twenties that something shifted. I realised that the food I grew up eating was actually incredibly nutritious and wholesome. It was full of flavour, balanced and rooted in this deep wisdom around digestion and the gut. That\u2019s when I really felt called to reconnect with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>There are so many powerful Ayurvedic rituals &#8211; what are some of your favourite ones to practise?<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One thing I always come back to is the principles of eating &#8211; that it&#8217;s not just what you eat, but how and when you eat that really affects your gut and overall digestion. Things like leaving enough time between meals, not eating too late at night, eating with awareness; all of these are Ayurvedic principles that really support the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of my absolute favourite beauty rituals is oiling the body, which is what\u2019s known as \u2018abhyanga\u2019 (or self-massage) in Ayurveda. I might not do it every single day, but I try to regularly massage my joints or the soles of my feet at night, as I find it so soothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At night I often take a small amount of castor oil in warm water for digestion too, alongside eating black seed oil and black sesame seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grounding rituals are also important to me, like journaling, walking barefoot on the earth, or just taking a quiet walk in nature when I can. Even if it\u2019s once a week, it makes a huge difference to how I feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-439455 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fuelled-by-Form--Mira-Manek-copy-image-2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-2-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-2-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>You\u2019ve written a book about chai, what are some of the biggest health benefits of this ancient drink?<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What\u2019s so beautiful about chai from an Ayurvedic perspective is that it\u2019s made with spices that really support digestion. Each spice used in chai is there for a reason &#8211; it helps stoke your \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">agni\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or digestive fire, which is a core concept in Ayurveda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have a well-functioning \u2018agni\u2019, it means better digestion, better nutrient absorption and overall balance in the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, ginger in chai is so good for digestion and is also a well-known anti-inflammatory. Then you\u2019ve got black pepper, which you might not immediately associate with tea, but it helps the body absorb other nutrients more effectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turmeric, which everyone knows as the golden super spice, is also highly anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich. Plus there\u2019s cinnamon for balancing blood sugar levels, cardamom that freshens the breath and calming nutmeg, which is known for lifting the mood and supporting serotonin levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you use these spices in small, consistent ways, they can really support your wellbeing. Even just adding a pinch of a spice blend into your tea, coffee or warm milk can give you some of those lovely benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Do you have any self-care rituals that are non-negotiable for you?<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the things I\u2019ve really prioritised recently is time in the sauna. Ideally, I\u2019ll go two or three times a week. It\u2019s something I absolutely love and find really grounding. There are so many benefits, both physically and mentally, and for me it\u2019s like a reset button.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Journaling is another one. It\u2019s not always structured or something I do every single day, but I try and do it at least once or a few times a week. And I think with journaling, it\u2019s less about ticking a box and more about feeling inspired to write &#8211; like, really tuning into how I\u2019m feeling and reflecting on that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes it\u2019s free-writing, sometimes I\u2019ll use prompts. It\u2019s really just about getting things out of my head and onto the page. It can be so clearing, especially if you\u2019re feeling stuck or emotionally overwhelmed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prayer and mantra are really important too. It\u2019s quite personal, and everyone\u2019s spiritual practice looks different, of course, but whether it\u2019s a quiet moment with my mala beads, a prayer before bed, or even just sitting in stillness, I find it deeply nourishing. Basically anything that builds that feeling of spiritual connectedness, or coming home to yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>What are your top three favourite spices?<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Definitely cinnamon. I love its warm, sweet spice. Then ginger and turmeric for their healing power. I also have a soft spot for saffron, especially since my first book was called \u2018Saffron Soul\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-439454 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Fuelled-by-Form--Mira-Manek-copy-image-1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-1-680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/Fuelled-by-Form-Mira-Manek-copy-image-1-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>What\u2019s been the highlight of your career so far?<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oh, that\u2019s a tough one!
