In our home, we make yam (senai kizhangu) curry quite often and my mother said it is very good for health. But I still asked my gynac before having it during my first trimester just to be 100% sure. She said it is perfectly fine if thoroughly boiled and cooked well.
Arre, yam is perfectly fine to eat, bas acche se cooked hona chahiye! With twins, my hunger was on another level, so I ate suran ki sabji quite a few times for energy. Just make sure it doesn't cause any itching in your throat, sometimes raw yam does that.
Honestly, since every body is different, it is always best to check with your gynac once before adding things to your diet. Yam is usually safe when cooked well, but during pregnancy, your digestion is delicate. Ask your doctor in your next routine checkup to be absolutely safe.
I totally understand how stressful it is to doubt every single food item, mere saath bhi same hota tha. Yes, cooked elephant foot yam is actually fine and quite nutritious, but please cook it properly to avoid any itching or allergy. Relax, u are doing great.
I think you mean yam (suran), right? My mom told me that it is quite warm for the body, so maybe eat it in small portions. I am still learning about all this, but taking it in moderation seems like a safe option.
Honestly, yam is absolutely fine to eat. It's rich in fiber which actually helps with the annoying pregnancy constipation. Just cook it properly with some amchur or lemon so it doesn't itch, and don't overeat. Simple!
