I'm really craving some aloo puri today! I'm pregnant and trying to be careful about my diet. Is it okay to eat aloo puri during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?
My doctor said we can eat mostly everything in moderation, but oily fried items like aloo puri should be limited because they cause heavy acidity and heartburn during pregnancy. Make sure the oil is clean if eating outside.
I totally understand your craving, dear! Pregnancy makes us want to eat such comforting things. Go ahead and enjoy a small plate of homemade aloo puri, just drink some warm water later to help digestion.
Yes you can, I ate it occasionally during my pregnancy too. Just make sure to add thoda ajwain in the puri dough, it helps with gas and digestion which is very common these days.
I felt so guilty when I craved hot aloo puris in my 2nd month, but honestly, eating a couple of them homemade didn't harm. Just satisfy your craving gently, your happiness matters too!
You can definitely track your calories and nutrition on an app, and fit in an occasional aloo puri! Just avoid having it daily as it lacks proteins and is high in trans fats. Balance it with some curd or salad.
My mother-in-law used to make hot puris for me when I had cravings, she said pregnancy mein man nahi marna chahiye! Just avoid eating very spicy aloo sabzi to keep acidity away.
