Masala Dosa (1 Piece) and Coffee with Milk and Sugar (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Ask for coffee without added sugar; use a small amount of milk or an unsweetened milk alternative, and avoid flavored syrups.

Have a protein-and-fiber starter such as a boiled egg, plain Greek yogurt, or a small handful of almonds before the meal.

Choose one smaller masala dosa and request extra vegetable filling with less potato, rather than adding additional dosa or vada.

Pair the dosa with generous sambar and coconut chutney, and limit sweet chutneys or sugary drinks.

Eat slowly, start with the sambar and vegetable filling, and avoid having coffee and dosa on an empty stomach.

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