Indian cuisines are incomplete without spices, and Indians can’t do without them. However, a few condiments, known for their heat and other properties, should be avoided or consumed in small amounts during monsoon to avoid health hiccups.
While the crackling seeds make the best sound in hot oil, they can be slightly hard to digest during monsoon and lead to bloating.
The one spice that no one forgets to add to their meals is red chilli powder. Access to this spice in the monsoon can affect the stomach lining and cause acidity.
Hing or asafoetida though known for aiding indigestion can be the cause of stomach discomfort if consumed in high amounts during the rainy season.
Cloves have many benefits but produce heat and lead to digestive ailments. Their consumption should be limited in monsoon.
Black pepper is also known for its heat and spice. You should avoid using this condiment in excess or it can lead to digestive issues during the rainy season.
Garam masala might be the holy grail among spices but its heat might be too heavy for your stomach to handle. Use it in smaller quantities.
Fenugreek seeds are known to regulate the bowel but they can cause discomfort during monsoon. They can leave your stomach upset.
