English Vada (100 G), Masala Dosa (1 Piece) and Coffee with Milk and Sugar (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Have coffee with milk without added sugar; use cinnamon, vanilla, or a non-caloric sweetener if needed.

Eat a small protein-and-fiber starter such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds before the dosa or vada.

Choose one starch-focused item rather than both: have a smaller masala dosa or one vada, not a full serving of each.

Ask for less potato filling in the masala dosa and add extra non-starchy vegetable sambar or vegetable sides instead.

Limit coconut chutney portions if it is sweetened, and avoid sweet drinks or desserts alongside the meal.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to reduce the post-meal rise.
