Im 5 months and craving kala chana so badly these days. My MIL gave me a weird look when i made it, so now im second guessing if its okay during pregnancy. Do you all eat it?
Black gram, like in idli dosa and our urad dishes, is fine in normal amounts na. My amma fed it often, it is protein rich. Just dont eat huge quantities and you are good, my doctor agreed.
It is actually a cheap good protein source which is great when you are managing a budget in pregnancy. I ate a lot of dals instead of expensive supplements. Worked well for me.
Yes black gram is fine, it is good protein and iron actually. I ate dal and idli all through both pregnancies. Just cook it well and keep portions normal.
