Dosa (1 Piece), English Medu Vada (1 Piece) and Coffee with Milk (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Have the coffee without sugar or flavored syrups; choose a smaller amount of milk if milk-based coffee raises your readings.

Avoid having dosa and medu vada together in the same meal; choose one and keep the portion modest.

Replace regular dosa with a mung-bean pesarattu, and add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, onions, or capsicum.

Start the meal with protein and fiber, such as eggs, paneer, unsweetened curd, or a small handful of nuts, before the coffee and savory items.

Pair the meal with a generous serving of vegetable sambar or a non-starchy vegetable salad; avoid potato-heavy sides and sweet chutneys.

Take an easy 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, and check your glucose response to identify the portion that works best.
