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.

Nutritious Oats Uthappam

Nutritious Oats Uthappam
Three fourth cup oats
One fourth cup samba rawa(wheat rawa)
One onion cut into small pieces
One or two green chillis 
One inch piece of ginger cut into tiny bits or one teaspoon of dry ginger powder
Curry leaves and coriander leaves
One cup of curd and salt to taste.
Mix all together, no frying, seasoning etc etc and let it soak for about an hour. If the batter is thick add a little water and bring it to dosai batter consistency.
Then on a non stick dosa tawa, spread it like Uthappam. Keep the flame low and cover it with a lid for the onion to get cooked well.
Turn sides and take it out brown. This will not be crispy, but very soft.
Sprinkle idli podi evenly on the Uthappam with one teaspoon of oil and eat hot.
This will be good for afternoon lunch also. Not much of carb but plenty of fibre. Enjoy.
