My contribution to this is our rattling ain " Bhajje Amshe". This is nil but Red Amarnath leaves cooked inward spicy kokosnoot sauce.The argue I country " our rattling own" is because this is non a recipe that I invented. This has been inward our culture, inward our homes for generations. My mom made it, her woman nurture made it, so on together with so forth.



This is a rattling traditional recipe that is so tardily that it is cooked without fifty-fifty much idea together with endeavor going into it! The holler for of me telling you lot all this is that, someone who is a diabetic, doesn't necessarily receive got to acquire almost finding novel recipes to eat!! There is enough inward our everyday cuisine that diabetics CAN eat! It is all almost beingness mindful of WHAT you lot swallow together with HOW MUCH you lot eat! This dish is traditionally served amongst rice but tin move eaten amongst roti or chapati.



When it comes to rice, it makes a big divergence whether you lot are eating white rice, parboiled rice,matta rice or chocolate-brown rice every bit white rice has the highest glycemic index spell chocolate-brown rice has the lowest. Lower the glycemic index, improve the food.It besides matters whether you lot are eating rice or kanji. Kanji is rice amongst the water. We people from South Kanara, traditionally swallow kanji for dinner. Kanji makes you lot experience fuller faster due to the H2O content inward it.

Bhajje Amshe served amongst kanji made out of matta rice.


Bhajje Amshe is unremarkably made amongst Red Amarnath leaves which is available alone during the summertime months here. Therefore, I receive got made this dish using Red Swiss Chard which is easily available inward whatsoever supermarket. The dish looks pretty much the same whether you lot purpose Red Amarnath or Red Swiss chard.
