Recipes and tips for diabetics with kidney problems

diabetics with kidney problems recipes and tips. Diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot make insulin or cannot utilize the insulin in the body. This leads to raised blood sugar levels which in the long run affects the blood vessels. When the blood vessels of the kidneys are affected, its functioning is hindered. The kidney may not be able to filter protein and hence it will be found in the urine. Also other waste material will build up in your blood. You might experience water retention due to excess salt in your blood. At this stage keeping blood sugar in control along with keeping your kidneys healthy should be focused through medication and diet.

Watch your salt, potassium and phosphorus for diabetics with kidney problems

Carbohydrate monitoring is of prime importance to keep a check on blood sugar levels. Protein has to be consumed in restricted quantities to avoid excess load on the kidney. Fruits and veggies low on sodium, potassium and phosphorus count should be preferred. Salt has to consumed in restricted quantities to avoid fluid retention in your body.

Prefer white bread over whole wheat bread. However barley and bulgur wheat are a healthier choice. Avoid rice and oats completely.

The Vegetable bulgar wheat khichdi low salt recipe uses bulgar wheat which is low in phosphorus and potassium.

yellow moong dal handvo | Gujarati yellow lentil savory cake | healthy split yellow gram pancake | with 30 amazing images. yellow moong dal handvo is a popular savoury cake among the natives of Gujarat. Here, we have replaced rice with lentils in order to enhance the recipe's protein content. Semolina adds crunch and makes the handvo crisper. Cut yellow moong dal handvo into pieces after cooling slightly, as it will be soft inside and you will not get proper pieces. Tempering adds the flavour to this dish, but those who are health conscious can omit it or use only 1 tsp oil for tempering. Main ingredients for yellow moong dal handvo. Put the soaked yellow moong dal in a mixer. Yellow moong dal offers a neutral and slightly nutty flavor that forms the base of the handvo. When ground into a batter, it creates a smooth and slightly grainy texture that contributes to the unique mouthfeel of handvo. Add 2 tbsp curd (dahi). Traditional handvo recipes often rely on fermentation to leaven the batter. Curds contain live bacteria cultures that ferment the sugars naturally present in the moong dal. Add 1/2 cup grated carrot. Carrots add a hint of natural sweetness to the handvo. This sweetness complements the savory flavors of the moong dal and spices, creating a more balanced and interesting taste profile. Pro tips for yellow moong dal handvo. 1. Adding rava to the batter acts as a binding agent. Moong dal itself is relatively smooth and lacks gluten, which is a natural binding agent in wheat flour. The semolina's texture, with its tiny granules, helps hold the lentil batter together, creating a more cohesive and manageable mixture. Instead of rava you can also use Oats flour as a substitute. 2. Just before cooking, add 2 tsp fruit salt. Fruit salt, also known as Eno (a brand name), is used in yellow moong dal handvo for one key reason: it acts as a leavening agent. You can also use baking soda instead of eno to make this recipe. Leavening agents help batters rise and become fluffy. 3. Gently mix the batter after adding fruit salt. Vigorous mixing can deflate the air bubbles created by the fruit salt reaction. Gentle folding incorporates the fruit salt evenly while keeping those air bubbles trapped in the batter. This leads to a lighter and fluffier final product. Enjoy yellow moong dal handvo | Gujarati yellow lentil savory cake | healthy split yellow gram pancake | with step by step photos.
