Dosa (Saravana Bhavan) (1 Serving) and Boiled Egg (1 Medium)

Keep the boiled egg, but reduce the dosa portion (for example, have one smaller dosa instead of multiple).

Eat the egg and a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, okra, or sautéed cabbage before or alongside the dosa.

Choose a dosa made with more lentils and less white rice, such as a moong-dal or mixed-lentil dosa.

Avoid sweet chutneys, sugary drinks, and large amounts of potato filling with the meal; use coconut, mint, or tomato chutney instead.

Add a side of plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or curd to increase protein and fullness.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help blunt the rise in glucose.
