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 VADAI

Quick Vadai for office goers.

Bengal gram               - 2 cups
Toor Dhal                  - 2 cups
Urad Dhal                 - 2 cups
Red chilli                   - 1/4 cup

Grind all this together to a coarse powder and keep.
When Vadai has to be made, take a measure of this coarse rawa, mix it tightly with hot water and allow it to stand for 10 minutes. Add salt, curryleaves, coriander leaves and mix uniformly ( can also roll it in the mixie just for a second).Adding onion is optional. Divide the dough into small balls , flatten them into small vadai and deep fry. You can also shallow fry it, if you want to avoid oil.
