Chai (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and English Indian Farsan Snack (1 Serving (30g))

Have chai unsweetened or use a non-sugar sweetener; avoid sweet biscuits, sugar, jaggery, or honey alongside it.

Reduce the farsan portion and choose less fried, less refined-flour options such as roasted chana, peanuts, or moong-based snacks.

Pair the snack with protein and fat, such as a small handful of nuts, plain Greek yogurt, paneer, or a boiled egg, rather than eating farsan alone.

Add fiber before or with the snack—for example cucumber, tomato, salad, or a small apple—to slow the glucose response.

Use milk in chai rather than drinking strong tea on an empty stomach, and avoid having chai-farsan as your first food of the day.

If you experience repeated low readings, shakiness, sweating, confusion, or dizziness, discuss your snack timing and medications with a clinician.
