Various vegetables that we must never combine and consume with curd are
Tomatoes:

It is better to consume tomatoes separately from curd.
Cucumbers:
The presence of high water content in cucumbers would keep us hydrated and refreshed. We could get bloating or indigestion etc when we eat cucumbers with curd.

Onions:
By adding aroma and flavour to the dishes, onions play a huge role. It must be noted that by consuming onions with curd we might get digestive issues like flatulence or bloating etc. Certain compounds present in the onions would be difficult to digest. Therefore, we must try to consume onions separately from curd.
