How to consume Coconut Chutney, Idli, Masala Dosa without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your idli and masala dosa to minimize the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Increase Fiber Intake

Pair your meal with foods high in fiber, such as a side salad with leafy greens or a small serving of lentil soup, to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like a boiled egg or a small portion of grilled chicken alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, make or choose idlis and dosas made with whole grain or multigrain batter to incorporate more complex carbohydrates.

Use Less Coconut

Prepare coconut chutney with less coconut and more vegetables or lentils to reduce the carbohydrate content.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats such as a handful of nuts or a slice of avocado to your meal, which can help in slowing down glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help mitigate a spike in glucose levels.

Exercise

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

Choose Non-Starchy Vegetables

Add a serving of non-starchy vegetables like sautéed spinach or steamed broccoli to your meal to add volume and nutrients without increasing glucose spikes.

Monitor Timing

Try eating these foods earlier in the day when your body may be more efficient at metabolizing carbohydrates, compared to late-night meals.
