Boiled Egg (1 Large) and English Kala Chana (1 Serving (110g))

Reduce the portion of kala chana and split it into a smaller serving; eggs are unlikely to be the main cause of the rise.

Eat the kala chana with plenty of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, or okra.

Add protein and fat to slow absorption, for example another boiled egg, plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, tofu, or a small handful of almonds.

Avoid pairing the meal with rice, roti, bread, potatoes, sweet drinks, or desserts; use a salad or cooked vegetables instead.

Choose whole, firm-cooked kala chana rather than mashed, blended, or heavily processed preparations, and avoid sugary sauces.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe for you, and monitor whether a smaller chana portion improves your post-meal reading.
