can we eat karela and dahi together - #25509
I am really confused about whether can we eat karela and dahi together. Just the other day, I had this massive craving for karela, you know, the bitter melon? I sautéed it with some spices and then thought, hey, let’s add some dahi (yogurt) on the side for that cooling effect. But then I remembered my mom used to say something about not mixing those two, saying the flavors clash or something like that. I don’t know if it’s true or just an old wives’ tale. Like, I've read online that some people actively avoid karela and dahi together because it might mess with digestion or something. But then other sources say it’s totally fine and healthy! I’ve experienced some tummy troubles lately, kinda bloated after meals, and wonder if it has anything to do with what I’m eating, but like, should I stop eating karela and dahi together just in case? Or is this just overthinking? Any advice would really help, since I just love both!
