Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a small serving of grilled chicken or tofu, to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate high-fiber foods like vegetables or a small bowl of salad to your meal to aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Opt for whole grain idlis, which can have a more gradual impact on blood sugar compared to their refined counterparts.

Include healthy fats such as avocado slices or a few nuts like almonds or walnuts to slow digestion and mitigate spikes.

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help regulate blood sugar and manage appetite.

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk after your meal, to help your body process the glucose more effectively.

Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger cues to avoid overeating which can lead to spikes.

Experiment with alternate flours like chickpea or lentil flour to make vadas, as they may have a gentler effect on blood sugar.
