Nutritionist Lovneet Batra shares Instagram Stories dedicating the health benefits of dahi chawal. She states that curd and rice together can be called the “stomach stars”.
According to Lovneet, here's why you must savour curd and rice:
1)A bacteria called lactobacillus bulgaricus is present in curd rice. These bacteria act on the inner lining of the intestines and stomach, making digestion easier.
2) While white rice is low in fibre, bland and easy to digest making it a good option for people with digestive problems.
