Can We Eat Curd With Brinjal - #2928

I’ve recently started following Ayurvedic advice for my meals, and I’m learning about which foods go well together. One question that’s been bothering me is this can we eat curd with brinjal? I love making brinjal eggplant dishes, especially spicy ones, and I usually have a bit of curd on the side to cool things down. But I’ve heard that Ayurveda says some food combinations can be harmful, so now I’m unsure if this is healthy. Sometimes, after eating curd with brinjal, I feel bloated or sluggish. Could this be because the two don’t work well together? I read somewhere that curd is heavy and heating, while brinjal has different qualities that might clash with it. Does that mean this combination is causing some kind of imbalance in my digestion? If that’s true, how does Ayurveda explain why curd and brinjal shouldn’t be eaten together? I’m also curious if it depends on how they’re prepared. For example, I usually fry the brinjal with spices. Does that change its effect when paired with curd? Would roasting or steaming it make a difference? Or is the problem more about the curd itself? I’ve been using fresh curd, but maybe there are rules about when and how to eat it with other foods. Another thing I’ve been wondering is if this pairing affects specific doshas. I’ve been trying to figure out my dosha type, and I think I might have a Vata imbalance because I often feel bloated and get dry skin. Could eating curd with brinjal be aggravating this issue? Or is it more of a Kapha or Pitta problem? How do I know which foods to avoid for my body type? If curd and brinjal really aren’t a good combination, are there alternatives? Should I replace curd with something else, like coconut chutney or buttermilk? Or should I avoid eating them in the same meal altogether? I love both these foods but don’t want to eat them in a way that harms my digestion.
