Chicken Gravy (Dry) (1 Tbsp) and Dosa (1 Piece)

Limit the dosa portion to one small, thin dosa and avoid adding potato filling, sweet chutneys, or sugary beverages with the meal.

Choose a moong-dal chilla instead of a regular rice-based dosa when possible; pair it with unsweetened coconut chutney or sambar without added sugar.

Eat the chicken first along with a large serving of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, cauliflower, cabbage, or cucumber before eating the dosa.

Make the chicken gravy with minimal flour or starch thickener; use tomatoes, onions, spices, yogurt, and ground nuts in modest amounts for texture instead.

Add a small side of plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or curd to increase protein and slow digestion of the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and consider checking your glucose response to identify a dosa portion that works better for you.
