To avoid Viruddha Ahara (incompatible food combinations) in Ayurveda, the main thing is to avoid certain combinations such as: Fish + curd ❌ Fish + milk/curd-based foods ❌ Eggs + curd (heavy and difficult to digest for many people) ⚠️ Curd at night ❌ Very heavy protein combinations in one meal ⚠️ You can comfortably divide your foods like this: Breakfast Millet preparation (millet porridge/upma/roti) Greens (lightly cooked) Beetroot This is a good grounding and easy-to-digest combination. Lunch Fish Bitter gourd Millet roti/rice if needed Fish digests best at lunch when Agni is strongest. Bitter gourd works well here for digestion and metabolism. Dinner Eggs Greens or light sautéed vegetables Small quantity millet if needed Keep dinner lighter and easier to digest. Separate Curd Properly Take curd alone during daytime, preferably: Mid-morning OR With lunch (but NOT with fish or eggs) Best combinations with curd: Curd + roasted cumin Curd + rock salt Curd + plain millet Avoid: Curd at night Curd with fish Curd with eggs Heated curd
