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 DOSAI

 Entering into my Blog after a very long time. Hoping to continue posting recipes often hereafter

Tomato Dosai

A very very simple sumptuous dinner delight for people to enjoy.

Ingredients:-

Ripe tomato                 ---   2

Medium size onion        -- 1

Red chilli                     --  3

Pepper                        -- 1/2 tsp

Jeera                           --  1/2 tsp

Ginger                        ---  1/2 tsp

Salt                             ---  1/2 tsp

Bombay Rava( White sooji)  -- one cup

Rice flour                              -- 1cup

Curd                                      --  1/2 cup

 Salt                                      -- 1/2 tsp

Procedure:-

1. In a pan season chilli, pepper, jeera, ginger in 2 tsp of oil.

2. After a minute add nicely cut onion and tomato and sauté well

3. The tomato need not be fully cooked, just half cooked with onion add salt and close.

4.After it cools grind it to a smooth paste.

5. Take a mixing bowl, add sooji, rice flour, curd ,salt and mix well.

6. Add the ground paste to it and mix well with a cup of water.

7. Again season in 2 tsp of coconut oil, one tsp of mustard, jeera and urad dal.

8 Add this seasoning to the batter and add a handful of nicely chopped corriander and curry leaves.

9. Mix all this thoroughly with a blender adding two cups of water.

10. The batter should be of a consistency between plain rava dosa and ordinary dosa.

11. Pour like dosa on a preferably on a non stick tawa.

12. This takes a longer time than ordinary dosa, so keep the flame a little high and patiently wait till it becomes crisp and brown and take out. 

Eating this without side dish itself is good but with coconut chutney it tastes wonderful.

Don't get alarmed on seeing the length of the recipe , as i have given step by step it looks lengthy. But it is very easy and quick. No grinding urad dal and rice batter, no fermentation, just half an hour the work is over with a wonderful dish.
