can curd and ghee be eaten together - #2684
Recently, I’ve been trying to incorporate more traditional foods into my diet. I grew up eating curd with almost every meal, and ghee was always a big part of our cooking too. But now that I’m trying to be more conscious of Ayurvedic principles, I’m confused about whether can curd and ghee be eaten together. Here’s the thing. I usually eat a bowl of curd rice with a dollop of ghee on top, especially during lunch. It’s a habit I’ve had since childhood, and it’s super comforting for me. But someone told me that curd and ghee might not be a good combination according to Ayurveda. They said it could create some kind of imbalance in the body, like ama or toxins. Is that true? I’ve never felt any issues from eating them together, but I’m wondering if it might cause problems in the long run. Lately, I’ve been having some digestion issues, like bloating and gas, and I don’t know if it’s related to this combo. My energy levels are also pretty low in the afternoons, and I feel really sluggish after lunch. Could it be because of eating curd and ghee together? I also have sinus problems that flare up often, and someone mentioned curd can make it worse. I also heard that Ayurveda has strict rules about food combinations. I’m not sure if can curd and ghee be eaten together in specific situations, like with rice or as part of certain meals. Does it depend on the time of day or the season? For example, I usually eat curd in summer because it feels cooling, but is it still okay to add ghee during that time? I don’t want to give up eating this because it’s such a big part of my routine. If can curd and ghee be eaten together, are there any precautions I should take to make it healthier? Should I avoid adding spices like mustard seeds or curry leaves to the curd rice if I’m using ghee? Or should I try switching to plain buttermilk instead of curd?
