Petua: Makanan Ibu dalam Pantang

Hi all! Just to share a few suggestions of recipes for makanan dalam pantang for the new mums out there.. Especially for my cousin yang baru je a few days in confinement. Hope you stay strong with the boring food for 44 days.. These few recipes, I got it from various sources, including the internet.. Hope it will add a little bright colours to your daily menu.

Good nutrition is an important aspect of the treatment during confinement. This is because, during the process of pregnancy, and labour itself, the hormones become slightly imbalance. According to some of the Malays petua, mums are advice to eat rice with ikan masin/ ikan panggang berkunyit, and drinks only a certain amount of water. Because of these strict diet (poor nutrition, and not enough water), mums are exposed to the risk of kidney failure and low blood pressure. Therefore, modern medicine nowadays is against the traditional ways of 'berpantang makan'. Just to make it clear, those kind of restricted diet practice, is not actually the proper ways of berpantang makan in Malay culture, but Malay people in the olden days are used to that kind of nutrition because they live in poverty.

So here goes a few recipes, that have better nutritional content, that I personally think is much more better for new mums.

Ikan Haruan / Tenggiri / Bawal Putih / Merah / Salmon Panggang Berkari
bahan-bahan:

serbuk kari
serbuk kunyit
serbuk lada hitam
ikan


cara-cara:

gaulkan semua bahan diatas bersama sedikit garam, lumurkan di atas ikan & panggang - boleh diletak atas dapur sahaja / dalam oven.
