Dosa (1 Piece) and Chicken Marsala (100 G)

Keep the chicken marsala portion moderate and ask for the sauce on the side; choose a preparation with less flour, added sugar, and creamy sauce.

Limit dosa to a smaller portion, avoid potato masala and sweet chutneys, and choose sambar plus non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cauliflower, or green beans.

Add a protein- and fiber-rich side, such as lentils, chickpeas, or unsweetened plain yogurt, before or alongside the dosa rather than eating the dosa by itself.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal if it is safe for you; avoid remaining seated immediately afterward.

Avoid sweet drinks, alcohol, and dessert with this meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

For future meals, check your glucose response and discuss repeated large spikes with your clinician, especially if you use glucose-lowering medication.
