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.

TASTY MULLU MURUKKU

Mullu Murukku


Rice flour
4 cups
Yellow Moong dhal
1 cup
Sesame seeds
1 tsp
Cardamom powder
1 tsp
Butter
2 tablespoon
Salt to taste

Oil to fry



  1. Cook the moong dhal in the pressure cooker and mash it well while hot.
  2. Mix the rice flour, cooked moong dhal, butter,salt, cardamom powder and sesame seeds.
  3. Blend all this nicely to a perfect consistency to make murukku in the achu.
  4. Keep oil in a broad based tawa and heat it well. Keep the fire to medium heat so that the murukkus will not be over burnt.
  5. Make small murukkus on 4 or 5 laddles and drop them in the hot oil in the tawa one by one to get small well shaped murukkus.
  6. This murukku will not absorb much oil and very nutritious for children.
