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.

All dhals like Toor,Bengal gram,Masoor,Moong,Soy beans,kidney beans,dried peas, karamani -- Take each just one tablespoon.
Soak all together for 2 to 3 hours.
Drain them well and grind thick with green chilli, red chilli, a piece of cinnamon, one tsp of saunf, 2 cloves and required salt.
Cut 2 big onions into small pieces and microwave them for a minute.
Add the onions, a handful of coriander leaves and curry leaves to the ground dhal and mix well.
Add one tbsn of ghee to it and mix well.
Keep the appakarai on stove and pour the dhal as panniyaram.
Close the panniyaram kadai with a proper lid.

A very healthy and tasty masal bonda is ready without much oil.
