Idli (1 Piece) and Banana (1 Medium (7 Inches To 7 7/8 Inches Long))

Have a smaller portion of banana (for example, half a small banana) and choose one that is just ripe rather than very ripe.

Limit idli quantity and avoid having banana and idli together in the same meal; space them apart if possible.

Pair idli with protein- and fiber-rich sides such as sambar with extra lentils and non-starchy vegetables.

Add a serving of plain unsweetened yogurt, eggs, tofu, or paneer alongside the meal to slow absorption.

Include nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseed, in a modest portion with or before the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and avoid sweet drinks or fruit juice with the meal.
