    @jhsayyar: I shall have a soft copy of the recipe. I am sure it will work as it contain ”Kalonji” as a major ingredient. Kalonji may alone can heal alot of diseases as per the sayings of Prophet Mohammad P.B.U.H. Sir, thanks for your reply.

     @ EvilElf : You are right. 400mg per dL is a high level and it is associated with a lot of risks. (May God save all patients from such type of risks and complications). The doctor advised her not to take rice as it is not good for her.

    Now her sugar level is some 200 mg (random). A little high but better as compared to 400mg.

    This is one of those recipes patiently waiting for my attention to get published. And since it is that time of the year *again* (gasp, what happened to 2016?!), I thought I’d post this now before I receive another […]

    • I am unfamiliar with what buco meat is. But this do look good. I wonder if I could replace the buco meat with turkey or even chicken breast. I haven’t had Italian food in awhile now.

      • Oh, definitely! I have used Italian sausage or chicken breasts in making risotto a lot of times and it turned out nicely.

    • Yes, I also do not know buco meat I have heard first time buco meat but read many times. I know it is made as
      INGREDIENTS
      4 heads fennel, fronds removed, halved length-ways
      4 medium courgettes, cut 2’’ thick on the bias
      30ml olive oil
      1 onion, finely chopped
      1 garlic clove, crushed
      ½ tsp fennel seeds
      400g canned chopped tomatoes
      1tb tomato puree
      75ml orange juice
      700ml vegetable stock
      12 pitted black olives
      75g raisins
      30g toasted pine nuts
      2 tb coarsely chopped coriander

      METHOD
      For the Osso Bucco:
      Preheat oven to 200c, then heat oil in large frying pan, add the onion, garlic and fennel seed and cook until softened.
      Add the fennel and courgettes and cook until both take on a light golden colour.
      Add the tomatoes, puree, orange juice, half the coriander and stock, then bring to the boil.
      Add the olives, raisins and pine nuts, transfer to a casserole dish, cover with a lid, place in the oven to braise for 25 minutes.
      For the Risotto cake:
      In a bowl mix the cooked risotto with the cheese, egg, season well with salt and pepper
      Using floured hands, divide the mix into 4 equal portions.
      Flatten the mix to that of a thick pancake, then fry them in hot oil in a non-stick frying pan until golden and crispy, you will probably need to do it in batches.

      • Thanks for sharing your research. The osso buco meat that I used for this was already pre-prepared and so I only need to use it for this recipe.

    • As some users have already opined this meat is new to me too but may be this recipe can be used with other meats as well.

      • I only heard of this type of meat when I lived in Australia. 🙂 And then last year, a friend gave us a vacuum-sealed osso buco. She said it is a traditional meat often eaten during the Christmas/New Year season.

    @cely: I am really grateful to you for your comment and observation.I shall try mango leaves.I hope that it will be very effective as some herbalists have also recommended it for treatment of diabetes. It is actually a natural way of treatment and I am sure it will be very useful. It is a pity that people don’t  pay attention to these easy ways.

    ”Miswak” (a little branch of some tree) will solve your issue if you clean your teeth with it for some days. It is a natural way of cleaning our teeth and it will surely kill bad breath. You will feel fresh after cleaning your teeth with ”miswak”.

    Consider homeopathy if unfortunately you fail to get the cure.
