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.

METHI SEEDS MORE KUZHAMBU

Methi Seeds More Kuzhambu

This Kuzhambu is one second kuzhambu rather effort less kuzhambu.

Ingredients
1.Sour thick buttermilk                                    2 cups
2.Toor dal                                                       1 tsp
3.Split Urad dal                                              1 tsp

6.Methi Seeds                                                2 tsp
7. Asafoetida powder                                     1/2 tsp
8. Curry leaves                                               1 tbsn
9.One tsp gram flour mixed with 2 tbsn of water
10. Salt to taste.

Collecting all the above is the only effort in making this kuzhambu.
You don't even need any vegetable.
Procedure:
Place a broad bottom tawa on stove, pour one full tbsn of ginglee oil.
Season all ingredients in the oil.
Once the seasoning is done, keeping the flame low, pour the buttermilk in it.
Add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and required salt.
Just one boil, rather when it froths, if it is liquidish, add the gram flour mixture.
Close the stove after 10 seconds.
This is the easiest quick kuzhambu for an emergency. This with a papad will make a quick,urgent meal.
