Cheeni Kum Ott

[Marion Georgi]

If you grew up in a desi household and had a sweet tooth, let me ask you something. What was your go-to, make-shift pudding that you made with just malai and cheeni when you ran out of biscuits or chocolates?

So amidst the extended lockdown, I was craving something sweet. I had no chocolates and was too scared to order out, so I decided to do what I did as a kid. Toasted a slice of bread and layered some malai-cheeni on it.

You know how there are just some nostalgic things that smell or taste like your childhood? Like they leave you with a comforting sense of content and an inexpressible joy? Yeah, if my childhood had a flavour, it would definitely taste like malai-cheeni toast.

My father is a diabetes patient, and I can understand how it feels to live with a chronic condition. But cinnamon has the anti-diabetic effect that manages your blood sugar level by leaving an impact on insulin resistance.

According to experts, cinnamaldehyde is an active component of cinnamon. It contains antifungal and antibacterial properties that fight off infections. You can add this spice to your daily diet for the best effects, but its oil is also beneficial.

You can reduce the high frequency and severity of headaches by applying cinnamon. Experts say that giving a gentle massage on the forehead with cinnamon can help to get rid of headaches (sar dard) and migraine.

I still drink tea and coffee occasionally (earlier too it was limited to a cup a day or two cups max). I too drink milk with bournvita but earlier i used to add sugar to that as well. Staying away from sugar is a great way of staying healthy ?

Loved reading about your love-hate relationship with sugar, ME. I am a big-time sugar lover, too, and love sugary treats, but of late, I have learnt of the hazards of too much sugar in my diet. I have grown cautious of the amount of sugar I consume every day. I do indulge myself once in a while, but yes, I am far more cautious than before. I am glad I grew to be that way. As they say, too much of sugar is a slow killer.

Can I come over to your place to polish off the rest of the Swiss chocolates, please?! Chocolates are one thing I indulge myself in, whenever I want something sweet. Absolutely love them. And Swiss chocolates? Ah, the bliss!

You are very welcome TGND , anytime ?

Being cautious about all that you eat is really important for our lifestyle and eating habits affect our life and health greatly.

Thank you dear ?

Thank you for the sweet thought SG ?

My mum uses sugar substitute for her tea and coffee, but as making sweets out of it. I strongly discourage her for her blood sugar levels were at alarming levels for a long time. Besides sugar diabetes demands control over intake of all forms of lipids and carbohydrates too, so I am after her all the time stopping her from eating anything belonging to those food groups beyond a couple of bites.

I remember you telling that you having a cheeni story ?

Now your first encounter with cheeni sounds uncannily similar. My brother is a die-hard sugar fan. It scares us sometimes ?

Sad that the chocolates are lying unused..chalo, chalo, think of some recipe to finish them off ? psst..coffee+chocolate ?

You know how women in their 40s and beyond think it's too late to lose weight?

I help them navigate through physical and emotional challenges, making weight loss a comfortable and lifelong solution.
