Health benefits of CURD

Curd is not a perennially consumable commodity. It should be avoided as much as possible in summers.

Various combinations 

Chaach or buttermilk : it is one of the finest forms in which curd can be consumed. The ratio of curd and water is 1:4 which is well churned and is added with Podina powder, Jeera powder and Saindha Namak.

Dahi Badas : Another desirable delicacy. Prefer moong dal (green gram) badas instead of udad dal (black gram) badas.

Raita : Always make sure you add podina powder or salt or jeera or sugar to curd.

Points to keep in mind while eating CURD

* Never consume plain curd. Make sure you add some condiments and/or spices to it. This will make it easy to digest.

* Do not consume curd on a daily basis.

* Ensure the curd which is used is well-formed, not semi-formed.

* Never take curd in the night hours as it is the unhealthiest time to have it.

* Prefer freshly prepared curd. Avoid too sour curd.

* Diabetics and people suffering with acidity should consume curd under the guidance of Ayurvedic physician.
