Bisi Bele Bath - Rice, Toordal, Vegetables, Peanut, 0.5 cup cooked (1 serving(s))

Reduce the serving to 1/4 cup cooked and avoid seconds; eat slowly and check whether this smaller portion prevents the large rise.

Make it with a higher proportion of toor dal and non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, cabbage, cauliflower, French beans, or eggplant, while using less rice.

Replace the rice with cooked barley or brown basmati rice, or use a half-and-half mix of one of these with cauliflower rice.

Have a side salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon or vinegar before the meal; avoid sweetened yogurt, pickle with sugar, and sugary drinks.

Add a protein side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, egg, fish, or tofu, and keep the peanut portion moderate rather than adding extra rice.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if safe for you, and monitor your post-meal readings to identify the portion that works best.
