298 foods · quality · energy · effect

The food guide for your dosha —
and a meal plan built for your kitchen.

Every food classified by its qualities, thermal effect, and post-digestive effect, then filtered for your dosha, your cause, and what's actually in season. Vaidya turns the library into a personalised 7-day meal plan that fits your diet, your cooking time, and the devices on your counter — vegan to non-vegetarian, 5-minute to 90-minute, stovetop to air-fryer.

Two products. One framework. Free to browse.

What makes the meal plan personal.

Four constraints, plus the memory layer that makes Week 2 different from Week 1.

→ Your dosha + season

Calculated from your dosha quiz.

Refined every quarter as your body and the season shift.

→ Your diet

Vegan to non-veg.

Vegan, vegetarian, eggetarian, pescatarian, non-veg, Jain, halal, kosher, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free. Allergies filtered out, every meal.

→ Your cooking time

5, 15, 30, or 90 minutes.

Vaidya pulls only from pools that fit your weeknight. You decide which days are which.

→ Your kitchen

Whatever you actually own.

Stovetop, oven, air fryer, induction, instant pot, blender, microwave. No recipe ever asks for an appliance you don't have.

Plus what Vaidya remembers

The recipes you loved, the ones you skipped, what worked for your sleep, what didn't. Week 2 is never the same plan as Week 1.

The signature demo

Same Monday breakfast.
Three kitchens.

Same dosha logic. Different cooking time, different appliances, different result. Nothing else on the internet does this.

Monday · breakfast · Vata-Pitta · late spring
5 min · no cook, no oven
Overnight soaked oats
Fennel, soaked almonds, drizzle of ghee. Stirred together the night before, ready when you wake up.

Vegan? Swap ghee for coconut oil.

15 min · stovetop + blender
Warm masala oats
Cardamom, cooked apple, ghee. Side of ginger-fennel tea. Single pot, single hob.

Vegan? Coconut oil + oat milk.

25 min · air fryer + stovetop
Air-fried spiced apple-oat cups
Ghee glaze, side of warm spiced milk. Make six on Sunday, eat through the week.

Vegan? Plant milk + olive oil.

Same dosha logic. Three kitchens.

The setup, in 3 questions

Tell Vaidya about your kitchen.

Three short questions before the first plan generates — diet, allergies, and what your weeknight looks like. Tell Vaidya once; it remembers forever. Change any of it any time.

  • Allergy lock — once you flag it, it's filtered forever.
  • Families of 2–6: recipe scales automatically.
  • Have a cook? Plan switches to delegate-friendly format with prep notes and fuller recipes.

Common questions

About food, the plan, and the kitchen.

The eight we hear most. For the rest, full FAQ →

Not by rule. Classical Ayurveda emphasises plant foods because they're easier to digest, but lists meat, fish, eggs, and dairy with detailed dosha guidance. InnerVeda's database includes all of them. Tell Vaidya how you eat and the plan respects it.

Yes. The plan filters by your declared allergies, dietary preferences (vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, dairy-free, Jain, halal, kosher), and culinary exclusions (no onion-garlic, no nightshades, etc.) at every meal. Tell Vaidya once; it remembers forever.

Yes. Nearly 300 foods in the app include oats, quinoa, avocado, salmon, kale, olive oil, sourdough, eggs, and everything else a global kitchen runs on. The meal plan pulls from your kitchen's actual ingredients and devices.

Vaidya knows. The meal plan pulls from a 5-minute pool for your busy nights and a longer pool for the weekend. You decide which days are which.

Tell Vaidya. The plan switches to a delegate-friendly format with prep notes and longer recipes a cook can build from. Most useful in India, UAE, and parts of South-East Asia.

Yes — 298 foods, all filters, all detail pages, free forever. The personalised meal plan is part of the InnerVeda membership (7-day free trial).

Yes. Any recipe in the app exports as a one-page PDF — ingredients, method, and the note Vaidya wrote for you — and goes straight to your share sheet.

After each meal you can tap “loved it / good / skip it.” Vaidya weights the recipe pool every week from what you actually ate. By month 3, the plan is 90% recipes you've already approved.
