Aloo Tikki (1 Serving (125g))

Choose a smaller portion: have 1 small aloo tikki instead of multiple patties, and avoid pairing it with buns, pav, or sugary drinks.

Prefer a baked, air-fried, or lightly pan-seared tikki rather than deep-fried; use minimal oil.

Add protein alongside it, such as plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, or grilled paneer, to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Bulk up the meal with a non-starchy salad or cooked vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, lettuce, spinach, cauliflower, or bell peppers.

Make the tikki with more fiber-rich ingredients: replace part of the potato with chickpeas, lentils, grated cauliflower, peas, or leafy greens.

Skip sweet chutneys and choose mint-coriander chutney, plain yogurt, or a lemon-and-spice dressing instead.
