Ramya Shetty · Answer

Chukkakura is very good for iron and digestion, especially if you have constipation. Just make sure you wash it properly to get rid of any dirt.

I had a lot of green leafy veggies like chukkakura for iron. It really helped me recover after my C-section. Just cook it well with a little garlic.

Yes, green leafy veggies are a blessing! I ate chukkakura pappu (dal) often and had a very smooth normal delivery. Keep it balanced and enjoy.

It is totally safe and nutritious to eat in moderation, dear. Wash it thoroughly before cooking.

Ah, that sour kick is amazing for pregnancy tongue! Go ahead and enjoy your chukkakura dal, just don't blame me if you crave more spicy food after.
