We make a lot of urad dal stuff at home, dahi vada, dosa, idli batter etc. My MIL says it can be heavy during pregnancy but my mom never said anything like that. Anyone know if its fine to eat regularly?
Haan it is a good protein source, I had it through both pregnancies. Just dont eat huge amounts at night if it makes you gassy. Otherwise totally fine in normal home cooking.
Dal in general is good, gives protein and fibre. I just balanced my portions because of my sugar levels. If you have any diet restriction from your doctor, follow that, otherwise enjoy it.
We eat urad dal a lot at home, in idli dosa and all, and it was fine for me. It has good protein and iron too. My family said it is healthy in moderation and my doctor never stopped me.
