Ragi Dosa (1 Piece) and Boiled Egg (1 Large)

Reduce the ragi dosa portion (for example, have one smaller dosa) and avoid pairing it with carbohydrate-heavy sides such as potato filling, sweet chutneys, or sugary drinks.

Keep the boiled egg and add a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, cucumber, tomato, mushrooms, okra, or cabbage, before or alongside the dosa.

Choose a protein-rich, unsweetened accompaniment such as plain curd, paneer, tofu, or extra egg rather than sweetened chutney or sambar with added sugar.

Use minimal oil for the dosa, but include a small amount of healthy fat such as peanut chutney without sugar, avocado, or a few nuts to slow absorption.

Eat the egg and vegetables first, then the ragi dosa last, and eat slowly rather than consuming the meal quickly.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and use your glucose readings to identify the ragi dosa portion that works best for you.
