I completely understand why you're hesitant, even I used to think ten times before eating kathal! Honestly, it is totally safe when cooked properly, so please don't stress and enjoy a small bowl of it.
According to my doctor, raw jackfruit or kathal is rich in vitamins A and C and fiber, which is great. But she specifically warned against eating ripe jackfruit in large quantities because of its high glycemic index.
Kathal is a great source of energy and fiber. I used to have it occasionally and then go for my doctor-approved 20-minute evening walk to make sure it digested well and didn't cause any bloating.
Don't worry, kathal is absolutely safe to eat during pregnancy. Just make sure it is cooked well at home and not too spicy. Take care of yourself and eat whatever you like in moderation.
Yes, kathal is fine to eat but don't overdo it. It can cause gas and heat in the body. Eat a small portion of well-cooked kathal ki sabzi and you are good to go, no need to worry.
