Pastry filled with Potatoes and Peas (Fried) (1 Regular Samosa) and Aloo Tikki (1 Serving (125g))

Reduce the portion to one small tikki or half a pastry, and avoid eating both fried potato items in the same meal.

Pair it with a protein-rich side such as eggs, tofu, paneer, or unsweetened Greek yogurt to slow absorption.

Add a large serving of non-starchy vegetables such as salad greens, cucumber, tomato, broccoli, cauliflower, or peppers before the fried item.

Choose a chickpea or lentil salad/soup as the main part of the meal, then have only a small taste portion of the tikki or pastry.

Skip sweet drinks, fruit juice, and sugary chutneys; choose water, unsweetened tea, or mint/coriander chutney without added sugar.

If safe for you, take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating and use your usual glucose-monitoring plan to see how the meal affects you.
