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.

EASY DOSAI

EASY  DOSAI
Rice flour                  2 cups
Gram flour                1/2 cup
Coconut gratings       1/2 cup
Cumin (jeera) seeds  1 tsp
Chilli powder            1 tsp
Asafoetida                1tsp
Buttermilk                 1 cup
Salt to taste
Idli podi                      3 tsp
Gingilee oil      

Grind coconut and cumin seeds nicely.With this paste add all the ingredients well to make dosai batter.The batter should be a little dilute like rawa dosai batter.Add required water to bring it to that consistency.Spread thin dosai on the tawa. Turn both sides sprinkling oil.Before taking it out,spread half a tsp of idli podi (dosai milagai podi) on the dosai,sprinkle one tsp of oil on top of it and fold the doasi. This does not need any side dish and will taste very good even for afternoon lunch.
