Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Gruch, forgot to add... raisins, walnuts are good too... dates can be had everyday...just 1 or 2 pieces... edhu saapitaalum moderation thaan thumbrule... maththapadi she can eat eat almost all stuffs she is used to eating regularly...

Pls ask her to be active throughout pregnancy unless the doc advises otherwise...if she is used to walking/swimming or any other light exercise ask her to continue with it after consulting her gyne...it definitely helps reduce most physical discomforts that ppl experience during pregnancy...also, whenever possible ask her to sit on the floor with her legs folded(the traditional Indian style)... ask her to talk a lot to the kid(not loud though )... and if the mother is less stressed and has a peaceful state of mind, they say the kid will be more calm after birth...listening music helps... there are songs/music especially to be heard during preg...you'll be surprised to c the kid respond to the music ur wife was listening to thru her preg...

Thanks Dev, this is another type.
We use chillie paste with garlic ground. This is day to day recipe.
Simple recipe that we cook in the house. Thanks, Kugan98

ok ok... will try it...

Yes... sweet memories... Thank God, I din't have morning sickness, not much physical discomforts except for slight oedema towards the end of preg... and labour too was short and smooth... so it remains as a 'sweet' memory...

All vegs I believe... Better eat thoroughly cooked food and don't try anything new... I'm not sure abt agathikeerai but they say drumstick leaves are very good for preg ladies and it can be had everyday in moderation(1 medium serving)...

Murunggakeera? Aha, I bought a bunch yesterday!

Even I have forgotten, what I ate and did. (Aishu is 6 years old)
NOV anneh has answered on all our behalf.

Be a good brother and follow NOV anneh's advice.

Yes ma'am.

NOTE: only one small piece, ask her to read a page of nice spiritual book every day. Nice if she reads Maha baratham.

Sure, something of their equivalent.

Dev, thanks a lot to the second advice. Yes, talking and music. I guess I have to leave behind temporarily my heavy metal and hard rock stuff, illana pulla poranthavudane aruva-voda porakkum. She's into Ilayaraja too, now, so I guess music'd be fine.

Overall, thanks a lot NOV, Kugan, Raghu and Dev. Really appreciate it. Though she reads this thread, I shall do the enforcing.

enforcing? hmmmm... lemme have a word with her.

Linda, Dev has a point about listening to music. Please listen to soft soothing music - classical stuff such as beethoven, bach and even indian classical like ravi shankar.
also both parents should talk lovingly to the baby in the womb.

I loved listening to instrumentals...esp sitar... I don't know why... but It used to be irritating to listen to music with lyrics(except for a very few soothing songs) during pregnancy... maybe paapaku pidikalayo ennavo... one song I loved listening to(sometimes throughout the day ) was that of garbarakshambigai... I guess I still have it in my gmail... if u want, I can look for it and mail u...

Got good collection of classical music at home. But I guess she has to stay away from Wagner
