Phutana Dal Ladoo - Healthy & can be enjoyed by Diabetics too!

I received few requests from my readers to post some recipes  which can be enjoyed by Diabetics... This post is specially for Mr. Srinivasa Reddy &  Mr. Joseph Paulson... I must thank both of you for your valuable comments & words of appreciation!  I would be posting few other dishes shortly... but thought of sharing a sweet dish which you can definitely enjoy!

There is a misconception that  if you are a diabetic, you’ll have to skip dessert forever...   With a little planning, and controlling your food habits you can satisfy your sweet  tooth while  keeping your blood sugar under control.  Few things to remember, as soon as you get up don't have that "Bed Tea / Coffee" that is very dear to you... try switching to Green Smoothie to start your morning... this is alkaline, gives wonderful vitamins, minerals enzymes.  If you are addicted to your tea / coffee, switch to herbal tea or black coffee instead without sugar. Totally stop taking milk & milk products.

Try and eat loads of green vegetables / sprouts and have your meals every 2 hours... I have been eating every 2 hours and I observed that most of the acidity problems, digestion problems vanish with this habit.  The other best reason is having your meals with breaks  ensures that you are not over eating :).  Very important is to also exercise (must admit to you that I need to strictly start doing some exercise!).

If you have a sweet tooth and want to make something ... mix the below ingredients and made these healthy Ladoos in just 10 minutes... Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:

Phutana / Chana - 1 bowl

Fresh Grated Coconut - 1 bowl

Dates (Khajoor) - 1/2 bowl (I used 1 cup to add more sweet to the dish)

Pista / Almonds / Poppy seeds / Raisins to garnish

Method :

Grind the Phutana / Chana to a flour consistency.  Add the coconut and the dates and grind this further. You may add Pista / Almond / Raisins/ Poppy Seeds and make Ladoos.  I made around 15 medium Ladoos .
