Indians are known for their culinary exploration, which leads them to discover new cuisines every day. Indian cuisine is famous all over the world, with well-known dishes such as butter chicken, matar paneer and chole bhatura.
Apart from these main dishes, India also boasts several popular side dishes or chutneys including coriander chutney, mango pickle and curd and onion mixture, which is often served with Dum Biryani.
However, despite these delicious options, there is an ongoing debate about whether mixing onion with curd is an excellent culinary combination or could lead to digestive problems.
According to sources, this combination of onion and curd may not be ideal as it could significantly affect digestive health.
Here’s how mixing onion and curd with your favorite food could affect your digestive health:
- Curd contains probiotics due to the fermentation process, while onion is rich in fiber and other compounds that could interfere with the functions of these probiotics, potentially causing digestive upset.
- Onions contain compounds that can increase gas and acidity in the stomach, leading to discomfort and symptoms such as bloating, gas, and indigestion.
- Sulfur compounds in onions can inhibit the absorption of nutrients from the curd, such as calcium.
- Cottage cheese is considered cooling, while onions are warming. Combining these two ingredients can be harmful to your health. Eating them together can cause allergies or skin conditions such as rashes, eczema or psoriasis.
It should be noted that onion and cottage cheese have several health benefits when consumed separately. However, despite knowing the risk of combining onion and cottage cheese, if you still want to, be responsible and enjoy it.
