Dosa (1 Piece) and Almonds (1 Almond)

Reduce the dosa portion (for example, have one smaller dosa) and avoid having it on an empty stomach.

Choose a dosa batter with more lentils and less refined rice; fermented batters made with urad dal, moong dal, or millet can produce a gentler response.

Pair the meal with protein and non-starchy vegetables, such as eggs, tofu, plain Greek yogurt, sambar with extra vegetables, or a vegetable side dish.

Keep almonds to a measured small handful and avoid combining a large almond portion with other calorie-dense foods in the same meal.

Avoid sweet chutneys, sugary drinks, and large portions of potato filling; choose coconut, mint, or tomato chutney without added sugar instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and track your response; if large spikes persist, discuss them with a clinician or dietitian.
