My doctor said small amounts of homemade jaljeera is fine, but avoid the street-side ones because of water safety. Also, don't add too much hing.

Jaljeera was the only thing that helped my severe nausea! I used to have a small glass of homemade jaljeera with lots of ice. It really helps.

I totally understand that craving for something tangy to beat the morning sickness! A little bit of homemade jaljeera is fine, but don't overdo it, dear.

Madhu Behera · Answer

Go ahead and enjoy your jaljeera to kill that weird metallic taste! Just don't drink a whole bucket of it, haha.

Skip the street stalls completely because of hygiene risks. If you want, just make a fresh glass at home with RO water and drink it occasionally.

Haan na, during pregnancy we crave such spicy and tangy drinks. Ghar pe clean pani se banake thoda sa pi lo, no problem.
