I have modified this traditional Chinese delight a wee bit to suit the diabetic constitution! You can further vary the spices according to your taste, or even use schezuan sauce instead of soya sauce for a variation. Low fat paneer can be replaced by tofu or soya curd to make it even more healthy.

Hmm, almonds? Am i kidding? no, despite belonging to the nut family and having its share of quirks, almonds have their share of health benefits – they lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Note that I've used toasted almonds and not fried them, so as to keep a check on the calorie count. Plus, the vegetables contribute abundant nutrients to this dish – making it absolutely fine to have as an occasional treat! You can also try other stir fries like Spicy Stir Fried Baby Corn or Broccoli, Mushrooms and Bean Sprouts Stir Fry .

A crunchy snack that rates high on the health quotient too, these rolls bring in the goodness of a well-chosen array of ingredients including celery, walnuts, paneer and lettuce!

And you could add a little cream or milk if you find the mixture slightly dry. Do try other diabetic friendly snacks like Nutritious Burger or Paneer Tikka Kathi Rolls .

Stuffed pasta-cannelloni topped with yummy tomato sauce and low calorie white sauce! Cannelloni is made from plain flour, which when consumed in excess or regularly can be bad for health – this is because the flour is refined and gets converted to sugar quickly, thereby fluctuating blood sugar levels. However, that is no reason to abstain from our favourite cannelloni! Simply mix in equal amounts of whole wheat flour to add a dose of fibre – this would prevent the rise in blood sugar levels. Stuff this cannelloni with a filling of your choice and lo and behold, you have an exotic dish. I have combined pineapple and paneer to pep up the bland taste of cannelloni, and used low fat milk, paneer, mozzarella cheese and low calorie white sauce to further cut down on calories and fat.

While this gives it a unique flavour, a coating of crushed corn flakes gives it an irresistible texture too, making it a true winner in all aspects.
