I get such crazy sour cravings even now while planning, can we really eat imli during pregnancy? I hope it's safe because I absolutely love imli chutney and street food.
Craving imli is so common but too much can cause bad throat or acidity. I used to keep small imli candies or home-made chutney, but limited myself to just one spoon a day. Water and normal food is best to focus on.
Listen, it's completely fine to satisfy your cravings with a little tamarind, sweetie. Just make sure it's clean and homemade if possible to avoid stomach infections. Don't stress too much, small bites are totally safe.
During my first trimester, I felt so nauseous all the time that only imli could save me. I felt like it was the only thing keeping me alive during those sick mornings. It really helped settle my stomach.
I had terrible cravings for imli throughout my pregnancy and had it often, and had a super healthy normal delivery! Just listen to your body and keep it moderate. Don't worry, a little sourness is totally fine.
