Curd And Fish Combination - #6132

Anonymously

I’ve been hearing mixed things about eating a curd and fish combination, and I’m really confused about whether it’s safe or not. My family has always told me to avoid having curd with fish because it’s supposed to create some kind of toxin in the body, but I’ve also seen people eat it together in dishes like fish curry. Is the curd and fish combination really harmful, or is this just an old myth? Last weekend, I ate a fish curry that had yogurt in it, and I didn’t notice any immediate problems. But a day later, I felt a bit bloated and uncomfortable, and now I’m wondering if it was because of the curd and fish combination. Does Ayurveda have specific advice about this? Does it depend on how the curd is used like raw curd versus cooked in the curry? I also read somewhere that the curd and fish combination might affect your skin. Is it true that eating curd with fish can lead to skin issues like pigmentation or rashes? I haven’t experienced anything like that yet, but I want to be careful if this is a long-term effect. If the curd and fish combination is bad, what should I eat with fish instead? Are there other substitutes for curd that won’t create problems but still add the same kind of flavor to dishes? I’d love to know if this rule applies to all types of fish and curd, or just certain kinds.

In Ayurveda, the combination of curd (yogurt) and fish is generally considered undesirable, as it is believed to create a harmful reaction in the body. The primary concern is that curd is considered heavy and cooling, while fish is seen as heating and rich in protein. When consumed together, they are thought to disturb the digestive system and create toxins (ama), leading to digestive issues, bloating, and skin problems like rashes or pigmentation. However, the reaction can vary depending on individual constitution and digestion. If the curd is cooked with the fish, as in a curry, the effects might be milder compared to raw curd, but it can still potentially cause discomfort or long-term imbalances for some individuals. It’s also possible that the bloating you felt could have been due to this combination, but it could also be from other factors in the meal. To avoid this, Ayurveda suggests pairing fish with more neutral or cooling accompaniments, like vegetables or grains, rather than curd. If you want a tangy element, you can use alternatives like lemon juice or tamarind, which are more balancing for fish. It’s best to be mindful of how your body reacts and consider adjusting your diet accordingly to maintain balance.
