Can We Eat Egg And Bitter Gourd Together - #4171

I recently came across a recipe that combined eggs and bitter gourd (karela), and it got me wondering: can we eat egg and bitter gourd together from an Ayurvedic perspective? I’ve always enjoyed both separately – eggs for breakfast and bitter gourd in my meals, especially for its health benefits – but I’m not sure if combining them is a good idea. I’ve read that Ayurveda talks a lot about food compatibility, and some combinations can create toxins in the body or disturb digestion. Could eating egg and bitter gourd together cause such issues? Are there specific reasons why this combination might be harmful, or is it okay to have them in moderation? Last week, I tried a bitter gourd stir-fry with scrambled eggs, and though it tasted fine, I felt a little bloated afterward. I’m not sure if it was because of the combination or just something else I ate during the day. Does Ayurveda suggest avoiding certain foods with eggs in general, and where does bitter gourd fit into this? Another question I have is whether cooking methods make a difference. For example, if we fry egg and bitter gourd together, does it make them harder to digest? Would it be better to prepare them with lighter methods like steaming or boiling to reduce any potential negative effects? I also wonder if the can we eat egg and bitter gourd together concern applies to everyone, or if it depends on a person’s dosha. I’ve heard that eggs are considered warming, while bitter gourd has cooling properties. Would combining them create an imbalance for certain doshas, like Pitta or Kapha? If there are any guidelines or rules about food combinations like this in Ayurveda, I’d love to understand them better. Should I avoid this pairing altogether, or is there a way to balance it out, maybe by adding specific spices or herbs?
