Hi mini,
I'm not sure how & from what panangarkandu is made of... So,will not be able to comment on this... I use raw sugar(brown) or karumbu sakkarai insted of white sugar...caloriw wise,not much difference but a lot less processing & chemicals,making it a healthier choice...also ,I make it a point to buy the costly sugar in the market(around $5 per 500gms) so that I always think twice before using sugar... Believe me,this has helped me take control over making sweets too often... :wink: :lol:

My mother use to say that though panagarkandu is good for cough, but, excess of using the same will produce heat!
Panagkarkandu is made from panai vellam(karupati). It won't produce heat. In India ppl use panagkarkandu when they get chickenpox. It is consumed to make the body cool during those sick time. I am 100% sure.
the best of all, i like dev's idea of getting the costliest in the market. sure that'll help.
To adopt such a BLIND-FORMULA as the Criteria or Basis... is not only DANGEROUS and DECEPTIVE ...Quote:

In brief... the Best Guiding-factor can be the Sincere Adjudgement by the Open- minded Consumers.
"PANAM-KARKANDU" (Palm-Gur-Sugar) and KARUPPATTI (Palm-Gur) ... the Products from Palm-Tree (Panai-Maram) are much better for health in several aspects...
.. than the Sugar-cane Products like WHITE-SUGAR (Cheeni)... and ... GUR (Vellam).
The Palm-tree products cause the Cool-effect in the Body... while the other Option is Contrary.
In general, the Karuppatti and Panam-Karkandu consumers, We can find healthier than the others.
For example... we can note this phenomena in the people of the Villages in Thirunelveli District in India....
.. who are comparatively HEALTHIER AT A LESS COST.
Dev,
What kind of fruits are good for sugar patients? are olives high cholestrol? iknow olive oil is good but how abt olives itself?
Kz
Sudhaama, u r rite.
my basic question was to know if using panang karkandu is lesser in calories than sugars and if i can substitute it in place of sugar regularly.
Just wanted to share this with every vegetarian.
This is a fact ...!!!
This website talks about how some cheese are non-veg

Please do read. Know some people will not like it.. but there is no harm in gathering info..
Good luck

Hi Mr.Sudhaama,
Yes,U r right... costlier ones doesn't mean it is the best... What my point was,in case U don't have self-control on the sugars U eat,try imposing such other controls like buying costlier ones so that U think twice before U use it...
I buy demerara unrefined cane sugar or organic unrefined cane sugar... I've tried karupatti & panam karkandu etc...But I wasn't able to stand the strong flavours of those... So,I felt the next better choice was unrefined sugars,.. So moved to this...Also,since I have a sweet tooth, I try such tricks to control my urge to make sweets too often...
Hi dev
How healthy r the salad dressings ? any idea abt it .. could u pls post some healthy salad recipes if u have some ..
Thanks
Pr
Hi pr,
Most salad dressings available commercially contain lots of fat in it... Check the nutrition lable for more info... If you have any specific dressing in mind,let me know...I can chk & tell u how healthy it is...
Most of the salads I make contains vegs like carrots,cucumber,boiled peas,sprouts,cooked kabuli channa,lettuce,cabbage,tomato,capscicum ,onions,cooked beetroot,cooked mashed potatoes,boiled eggs(whites only) etc...You can take any combination you wish or a single veg or dhal... & dressings would be mostly salt,g.chilles & lemon juice... I sometimes use tomato sauce or crushed pepper/soy sauce added to olive oil as dressing... Salads r purely your imagination...I've posted a sprouts & carrot salad recipe in sprots thread...chk it out...You can also add fruits like orange to the salad...
Here's another simple vegs salad... Chop onions,cabbage,carrots & capscium(very less) into thin long strips... ca add cucumber too... add salt,chilles & lemon juice...mix well & let sit in the fridge for around 2 hrs...serve chilled with any tandoori snack(tandoori chicken/vegs etc)...
Another of my fav is buttered vegs...boil some baby carrots orvertically sliced carrots ,tender beans,broccoli & any other vegs of your choice...add a tsp butter in a pan...add the vegs,salt, pepper(optional)...saute for a few secs on low flame...
true , cos it contains lot of salad creamQuote:

Raghu,
I guess beckham meant apply egg white leave it on for some time and then wash off. Anyway lets wait for him to confirm
But would just like to say that whatever u do pls use cool water to rinse it off. My friend once used hot water and she had scrambled eggs sticking to her hair. :lol: :lol:
Tomato,
Tht must've been really funny... :lol:
Raghu&Toamato,
I will apply white portion of the egg on the portion where i m loosing a lot (ofocurse forehead :lol: ) and i will leave it for 45 mins or so...then i will rinse it using an ayurvedic shampoo (Himalayan company product) ... I tell u what gud improvement yaar :D Rinse it with cold water...Don use hot water to rinse u're hair...because the pores in u're head will get expanded resulting in lose of hair... :)
Hi TomatoQuote:

Come on ppl. lets activate this thread and be healthy.

Raghu,
I don't qualify to give advices as of now... coz... I've put on a few kgs coz of the sudden laziness that has struck me... So, I wouldn't like to preach until I shed the excess I've put on...;) :)
But making the thread active is a good idea coz that'll help me gain mental strength to fight my laziness...
