Haha, pregnancy cravings are wild, and chhole is life! Go ahead and enjoy, but maybe keep some pudina water handy because those chickpeas will definitely bring some loud music with them later!
Nutritional-wise, chickpeas are excellent for protein, but they can be hard to digest. If you have gestational diabetes or severe acidity, check with your doctor or nutritionist first. Otherwise, home-cooked chhole is perfectly fine.
Oh, I absolutely craved chhole bhature during my second trimester and ate it quite a few times! Just watch out for gas and bloating because chana can be heavy. Try to have it for lunch instead of dinner.
I always used to add a little ajwain or ginger to my chhole to help with digestion naturally. But if you ever feel severe stomach pain or cramping after eating, please don't rely on home remedies and contact your doctor immediately.
Chhole can cause a lot of acidity and gas, which might make you feel uncomfortable or trigger cramps. Since I had some complications, my doctor advised me to keep my diet very light. It's best to ask your gynac if you have a sensitive stomach.
Yes, you can absolutely enjoy chhole as they are a great source of protein and iron! I ate them regularly and had a very smooth normal delivery. Just make sure they are cooked well at home to avoid any stomach infection.
