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.

TOMATO KUZHAMBU



Tomato Kuzhambu. Simplest that you can imagine:::




This is one of the easiest Kuzhambus possible.The main task is to purée the tomatoes or if you have readymade tomato purée all the more better.
1. Purée 4 or 5 ripe tomatoes adding a little water.Add two green chillies and salt while grinding.
2. Saute 1 tsp of jeera and methi seeds each with two red chilli’s ( the quantity of chilli’s used depends on your taste)
3.Add one tbsn of besan( kadalai maavu)and fry it well in the oil.
4. Pour the purée into it and allow it to boil till the raw smell goes off, keeping the flame low.
5. Add coriander leaves and curry leaves and finish.
6. For added taste mix a spoon of jaggary powder into the Kuzhambu.
7. If you want to add vegetables to the Kuzhambu, precook potatoes in the shape of French fries or fry small onions and add while the Kuzhambu is boiling.
This is best suited for chappathi, poori and also dosa.
