Subji - #3821

I’ve been trying to eat a healthier diet lately, and I’ve heard that Ayurvedic food practices can really help maintain balance in the body. So, I’ve started incorporating more vegetables into my meals, particularly in the form of subji. However, after eating subji for the past couple of weeks, I’ve been noticing some discomfort, like bloating and indigestion, and I’m not sure if the problem is with the food itself or how I’m combining it with other things. I’m hoping someone here can help explain this from an Ayurvedic perspective. I’ve been making a variety of subjis at home, mostly with vegetables like carrots, beans, and potatoes, and I cook them with various spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric. My question is: Is there a particular way to prepare subji according to Ayurveda to help with digestion? Could it be that the way I’m making the subji or combining the vegetables with the spices is not aligning with my body’s current state? I’ve read that Ayurveda has specific guidelines for cooking vegetables, but I’m not sure if I’m following them properly. I have always been a little Vata-dominant, and I’ve heard that certain foods can trigger digestive issues depending on one’s dosha. I’m wondering if the type of subji I’m eating could be aggravating my Vata dosha, causing gas or bloating. I’ve also noticed that I’m more sensitive to cold foods in the winter, so I’ve tried warming up the subji before eating it. Could this sensitivity be related to Vata imbalances? Should I be adding certain spices or herbs to help balance my digestive system when I eat subji? Also, I’ve heard from others that subji is an excellent dish to make for lunch or dinner, but I’m concerned that I might be eating too much at once. Ayurveda talks about Agni (digestive fire), and I’m curious about how much subji I should be eating to keep my digestion strong without overwhelming it. Is there a recommended portion size for subji, or does it depend on the person’s body type and digestion? Lastly, I’ve read that subji is also beneficial for detoxifying the body, but I’m not sure if I should be eating it every day or if I need to balance it with other foods. Is it okay to eat subji regularly, or should I switch up my meals to prevent any issues with digestion or nutrient absorption?
