My blog's focus is on Indian vegetarian cooking for diabetics. India is fast becoming the country with the most diabetes-afflicted population. I've learnt over time how to modify my cooking such that I can help maintain steady blood glucose levels. Here I share some healthy homemade recipes.
Some time ago, I learnt that the coriander plant, aside from containing powerful antioxidants, was actually considered a great herb for diabetics, helping lower blood sugar, I began using it all the more liberally. Of course, it may not have any di (read full article)
It's been two years since I posted a sweet dish on my blog. We no longer really eat any rich desserts, it's been a long time, except maybe during the occasional family visits. Our aftermeal nibbles have largely been confined to bitter dark chocol (read full article)
Healthy eating, in my experience, starts off as a conscious effort. There is often a moment of lapse where a craving just needs to be satisfied, and you either give in or chastize yourself. Diabetes makes it even harder, whether or not you indulg (read full article)
Today, 11th March 2010, is World Kidney Day. World Kidney Day is a joint initiative taken by the International Society of Nephrology and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations, and was first started in 2006. Each year is focused on a (read full article)
I've posted my version of whole grain ragi dosa before. This is just another variation of the same, having added a bit of bajra (pearl millet) too to the batter. Since I had little bit of each and needed to clean out my stock, I just mixed them u (read full article)
The much awaited and pleasurable New Year weekend has come and gone. The specialness of this particular New Year was that the holiday mood lasted three beautiful days, right after a lovely extended Christmas weekend, in addition to it being the beg (read full article)
A brief sojourn to the south of the nation several weeks ago was the cause for an immense sense of relaxation and contentment, something that had been missing from our lives for quite a few years now. It was the first long vacation I'd taken in qui (read full article)
I've had occasion to travel to a few places over the past six weeks or so. It's been a while since my family set foot out of town on a long journey and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We came back refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to take on the worl (read full article)
My mother has always been a consummate cook and house manager par excellence. The parties of our childhood years when the Indian community gathered at our house to sample my mother's cooking is etched indelibly in my mind. I've eaten meals cooked b (read full article)
Mushrooms are my latest love, from a culinary perspective of course. It wasn't always like that, though. I hadn't ever tasted mushrooms until a year ago, when we went out for a celebratory dinner in April of last year, and turned adventurous. We v (read full article)
For a couple of years now, changing weather patterns and reducing rainfall in areas that need it the most have led to spiralling cost of basic food items. The negative inflation so loudly touted by our government seems so irrelevant to the citizens (read full article)
North and South Indian cuisines used to be plainly demarcated based on the staples they used. While the northern areas relied on wheat, bajra and jowar among other things, the southern states fed themselves on rice, ragi and coconut because of their (read full article)
The monsoons finally arrived ten days ago, albeit a bit late this year. Fears of the city's water supply drying up have now been put to rest. Wetness of the season for once is very welcome and breathing in the mossy smell of the drenched land arou (read full article)
I first learnt about different ways of spicing up rice through my mother-in-law. I don't mean that she showed me how to make these dishes since we don't live nearby, but she did once lend me a cookbook during my early marriage years and encouraged m (read full article)
It used to be that the first reactions to a diagnosis of diabetes in a family member would be often to have the patient completely shun all carbohydrates. The patient would then be introduced to whole grain options such as millets (ragi) and raw ve (read full article)
For a while now grey clouds have flitted across our skies raising the hope of rains, but a month has gone by without the much sought-after downpour. Rains, this year too, have been rather elusive, reminiscent of last year. Changing weather patterns (read full article)
Dark moody clouds now overwhelm the skies, threatening to spill over. Monsoon's actually been delayed for about a month or so on account of cyclonic activities during the summer but no matter, the clouds are here. There's something impending about (read full article)
Once upon a time, tomatoes were thought to be poisonous. We need to applaud the one brave person who, knowingly or not, bit into a ripe juicy red tomato and survived the test because without this attempt we'd have deprived ourselves of delicious rec (read full article)
Over the past several weeks, in this little town of ours, there's been a developing problem that has now blown out of all proportions -- that of regular and scientific garbage disposal. The problem has become so bad that every few weeks we citizens (read full article)
The carrot is one of those vegetables that often has diabetics worrying whether it is good for them or not. However, the GI of carrots is around 47, considered low, and the glycemic load of a serving of 100 grams I found is around 3 (as per Nutritio (read full article)
