I've been craving chamadumpa fry so much lately, but I was so scared to try it! Are other first-time moms also this paranoid about eating root vegetables like arbi? I made sure my mother cooked it thoroughly today, and it was so comforting.
Actually yaar, chamadumpa is totally fine to eat, but don't overdo it because it can be heavy on the stomach. Just ensure it's cooked fully till soft. We Mumbaikars love our spiced arbi, so go ahead and satisfy that craving!
Sure, you can definitely eat chamadumpa, it's just arbi! Just make sure to boil and fry or cook it really well, because raw or half-cooked arbi can cause throat itching. It's a great source of fiber and energy, so cook it properly and enjoy your meal.
In my personal experience, I ate chamadumpa curry quite often when I had major cravings for spicy food. I always washed it thoroughly and pressure cooked it to be absolutely safe. It never caused me any issues, but you can always check with your elders or doc.
Of course you can eat it, but please don't try eating it raw unless you want a scratchy throat as a pregnancy companion! Just cook your arbi fry nicely with lots of ajwain to prevent gas. Eat up and don't stress about every single vegetable!
Yes, it is perfectly safe as long as it's fully cooked. Chamadumpa is rich in folate and fiber, which are great for pregnancy. Just avoid raw or undercooked portions, as they contain calcium oxalate which causes irritation.
