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.

SEVAI WITH SIMPLE MORE KUZHAMBU

SEVAI WITH SIMPLE MORE KUZHAMBU


Age is no excuse in learning. Anything for that matter, cooking, reading, writing books, stitching everything( I do all these and I completed 75 yesterday) only interest and involvement matter. Coming to the point, I always used to get ready made sevai in departmental stores or make sevai with readymade packets. This quarantine made me think why not I do sevai myself soaking rice, grinding and all. Many in your houses do that regularly, I am talking only about me. The main thing is some two years back when we visited somebody in Nana Nani ( those are malarum ninaivugal now) we had night tiffin there Sevai with More Kuzhambu . The combo tasted wonderful, I tried at home with regular morekuzhambu for sevai, but it did not get that taste. Today after so much research in you tube and all, with slight modification to suit our taste I did that More Kuzhambu and it came out fantastic, in the words of SVR who dose not like sevai so much. I am in 7th heaven as now I have one more regular night tiffin.
I am not going in detail about the preparation of sevai. But I will give the simple More Kuzhambu recipe here. Just take one full cup of grated coconut, put it in the mixie jar, add one cup of thick buttermilk, one green chilli, one red chilli, half a tsp of asafoetida, just a pinch of jeera and a pinch of methi seeds, and add salt to taste. Remember no water. Grind it well as there is coconut, it will not be very smooth. Pour it in a mixing bowl, season it just with mustard and curry leaves in two tsp of coconut oil. That is all, if it is very thick, add some buttermilk to bring it to correct consistency. That is all. Eat and Enjoy. This time I gave you the recipe straight instead of asking you to go to my blog this and that. Enjoy eating.
