Why a blog on GD?

I thought of writing something on diet for Gestational Diabetes (GD) when my daughter-in-law had GD last year. Being a vegetarian, she had very little choice when it came to American hospital diet. She was admitted in the hospital on the 26th week of gestation with high GD and for about 3 weeks, I had to manage her diet with proper calculation of carbohydrate, protein and fibre.With proper guidance and wonderful cooperation from her dietitian, we could keep her glucose level under control. She delivered a girl baby on her 29th week, and both mother and daughter are doing great today.

Yellow Moong Dal Dosai

Yellow Moong Dal Dosai:-

 
This is a slight variation of Andra pessarett.
Yellow moong dal          -- 1 cup
Raw rice                       -- 1/2 cup
Green chilli                    --  2
Red Chilli                      -- 1
Ginger                          -- 1 inch piece
Coconut gratings           --  2 tbsn
Coriander leaves           -- 2 tbsn
Salt to taste
Big Onion( cut into small pieces)  --1
Jeera (Cumin)               -- 2 tsp
Mustard & Urad dal     -- 1 tsp each
Curry leaves                 -- 2 tsp
1. Soak Moong dal and rice for 2 hours.
2. Grind the soaked grains with coconut, ginger, chillis ,coriander leavesand salt to a smooth batter.
3.Keep a small tawa on fire, pour 3 tsp of ghee and season, mustard, urad dal, curry leaves, onion and jeera and add that to the batter.
4. The batter should be a little dilute compared to ordinary dosa batter.
5. Keep the dosa tawa on fire and make thin soft dosa sprinkling ghee and oil, a little liberally and turn sides and take out.
6. Coconut chutney is the best side dish to this.

NOTE:
Instead of raw rice, you can make this with oats also.
For one cup of moong dal, you can take one cup of oats.
Do not soak oats with the dal.
Fry the oats a little and powder it first.
Then grind the dal as above, add the oats powder, dilute the batter and make dosa.
