Chai (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and English Indian Bhelpuri (1 Serving (120g))

Order chai without added sugar or sweet syrups; use cinnamon, cardamom, or a non-caloric sweetener if needed.

Have a smaller serving of bhel and ask for less or no sweet chutney; use mint-coriander chutney, lemon, and spices for flavor.

Replace much of the puffed rice and sev with cucumber, tomato, onion, coriander, sprouts, and roasted chana.

Add a protein side such as plain Greek yogurt, paneer, or a boiled egg before or alongside the bhel.

Avoid pairing chai and bhel with extra biscuits, fried snacks, or sugary drinks; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Eat the bhel slowly after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, and take a short walk afterward.
