Indian Food Diabetes Nutrition Values


  If you are an Indian diagnosed with Diabetes, one of the first things that comes to mind is "How many carbs do the standard Indian dishes contain?". This article lists the carbs in some of the most popular Indian dishes. You must still follow the general principles of good diabetic eating which is avoid foods that are high in sugar and carbohydrate values such as rice and potatoes which are very high on the list of staple Indian diets. Tied to diabetes is the risk of heart disease so you must also ensure that you eat foods that are lower in fat and cholesterol.

It is recommended that most diabetics eat between 200-240 carbs/day or restrict their intake to 2000 calories or less. Most nutrition data will provide you nutrition information in terms of 15 g of carbs or 1 serving. The table below also provides the information in terms of 15g of carbs. It is recommended that most diabetics have around 45-60 grams of carbs for breakfast, lunch and dinner and 2-3 snacks a day of about 15 carbs.

Indian Food Map


We have been asked the question, "What is Indian Food like?" many times and I have always struggled to answer this question because there is no easy answer. India is a vast and diverse country and each state is a country in itself in terms of its food, dress, language etc. You can eat Momo's from the North East, Sambhar in the South, Dhokla in the East and Dum Aloo in the North and they are all unique and fascinating.  The North has Mughal influences while the East has Chinese influences, all making for a great dining experience. With the recent economic growth in India, many of these dishes are now available in the big cities. However, its probably best to travel to the respective states to savour the real taste. 

We recently came across this India Food Map that lists some of the Must Try dishes in each of India's states and it answers tha question "What is Indian Food like?". Now I can send anyone who has this question to this map. Click on the Read More link below to see a larger image of the map.

Tarla Dalals Chicken Recipes

 

 

We get many emals asking for Ms Tarla Dalal's Non-Vegetarian Recipes and the simple answer is that there are none. Ms Dalal  is an author of Vegetarian cookbooks and to the best of our knowledge, there are no chicken, mutton, pork and beef recipes by Ms Tarla Dalal. 

We do carry a few of her popular vegetarian recipes on this site.

In this part of our website, we explore foods from around the world. We get to travel to some other parts of the world or sample different cuisines around where we live. We will share some of the experiences with you. 

In this section of our website, we will try and uncover the stories behind some of the popular kebabs available today. Many kebabs have interesting stories about their origins, many of which relate to royalty. 

Mumbai is one of the greatest cities in the world and thousands move into the city everyday. Over the history of the city, these immigrants have had tremendous influence on the food of the city. You can find all kinds of cuisine in Mumbai but there are some things that are very Mumbai in nature and this section of the website tries to look at the food items that define Mumbai. Having spent my early life in Mumbai, the thought of many of these items make my mouth drool. Many of these items are now available elsewhere but there's no better place than the streets of Mumbai to have this.

We hope you enjoy this new section and if you have any ideas on things to add, please let us know.

India is a very diverse country with a long history. Over the years, India has been influenced by almost all cultures, religions and countries. India has a number of holidays during the year and each one of them is partly defined by the food that is prepared for that event. The Muslims make biryani and kebabs during the Ramadan and Eid festivals. The Hindu community prepares sweets and other snacks during Diwali, Dussera and other festivals.  In this section of our website, we explore the various festival foods of India.
