Chana Dahl

I mentioned this in a post about GI (its got a gi of 11)
It really is a useful food especially if you enjoy curries.
David Mendosa has a long article about it which you might finf interesting to read but most valuable is the long list of recipes that he links to at the end of the article.

The opening sentence got me scratching my head:

Like most people with diabetes I seem to be on an endless quest for good-tasting food that won't play havoc with my blood sugar levels. What I keep looking for is food low in saturated fat, without any transfats, and packed with nutritious carbohydrates.

But as I read there are some really interesting points. I'll definitely be looking into this further. Sure would be nice to be able to eat this without getting a spike!

His recipes look great - thanks for posting.

When did David write about this?
I know that he's now very strictly LOW CARB and off all medication.

Hiya,

I eat channa dal three or so times a week. It doesn't affect my blood sugars and for me it's a miracle foodstuff! I was sceptical at first, convinced there was some kind of delayed effect.

See an earlier thread I posted here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9983&p=96038&hilit=channa+dal#p96038
