Fighting disease with proper diet!
"Hello, I want a diet plan for my FIL", I was talking to dietitian over the phone. As the pandemic was going on, we couldn't visit her personally, so she was giving me tips on the phone. "So what is his meal routine for now? Please let me know, starting from the breakfast", she said. My FIL has oral cancer. He has underwent more than 10 surgeries till date. He cannot have solid foods. Everything has to be blended and strained, for him to eat. No spicy stuff, no over powering masalas, nor garlic. As all this irritates his palate and oral cavity. So what's his routine was asked and here's what we cook for him - He starts his day with green tea with tulsi and ginger. Breakfast - 1. Ragi 'satva' (extract), this powder, I mix in some water and make a paste, add a pinch of salt and jeera powder to it. Keep it on the stove to cook. Keep stirring so that it doesn't burn at the bottom. If you want a semi liquid consistency, then add some more water...
