My mom adds rai tadka in almost everything at home and i never thought about it before. Now that im 4 months along im second guessing every small thing yaar. Is it ok in normal cooking amounts?
Rai or mustard seeds used normally in cooking for tadka are totally fine in the 4th month, we use it daily in our food. The amount in tempering is small and safe. Just dont go having spoonfuls of it as some remedy, normal cooking quantity is no problem.
Rai for tempering is fine and harmless in pregnancy. I kept eating my normal seasoned food. The only thing i was careful about was overall spice and oil because of acidity, not the mustard seeds itself. Normal usage, no worries.
Beta rai in the daily food is completely okay, our mothers and grandmothers ate it all through. Just keep your meals balanced and not too spicy. If u were thinking of taking it as some big home remedy in large amount, then better ask your doctor first.
If u mean rai in your regular sabzi and dal tadka, yes go ahead, i ate all normal home food through pregnancy. Mustard in cooking amounts is fine. Only thing, dont overdo very spicy stuff if it gives u acidity.
