Chicken with Gravy (Mixture) (1 Chicken Leg With Gravy) and Plain Paratha (1 Piece)

Reduce the plain paratha portion, or have half a paratha and increase the chicken portion if it is not breaded or sweetened.

Choose gravy made without added sugar, refined flour, cornstarch, or large amounts of potato; thicken it with blended vegetables or a small amount of lentils instead.

Add a generous side of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumber, or salad before eating the paratha.

Include a small serving of chickpeas, lentils, or beans with the meal to add fiber and slow absorption of the meal’s carbohydrates.

Eat the chicken and vegetables first, then the paratha last, and avoid sugary drinks or desserts with the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe and appropriate for you.
