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

Order coffee without added sugar; if needed, use a non-caloric sweetener rather than sugar.

Have the coffee after eating rather than on an empty stomach, and avoid sipping sweetened coffee over a long period.

Start the meal with protein and fiber, such as an egg, plain yogurt, or a small serving of lentils, before the dosa.

Add non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, spinach, or okra to the meal to slow absorption.

Keep the dosa serving modest and avoid extra potato filling, chutney with added sugar, or sweet drinks alongside it.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal and use your glucose readings to identify the portion size that works best for you.
