Methi Paratha (1 Piece) and Cooked Tomato and Onion (Fat Added in Cooking) (1 Cup)

Reduce the methi paratha portion to one small, thin paratha; avoid adding potato or refined flour to the dough.

Make the paratha with 100% whole-wheat atta, extra methi, and minimal oil or ghee; skip butter or sugary chutneys.

Pair the meal with a protein source such as unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, tofu, or eggs to slow glucose absorption.

Add a large serving of non-starchy vegetables, such as cucumber, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, or okra, before or alongside the paratha.

Keep the tomato-onion preparation less oily and avoid adding sugar, jaggery, sweet sauces, or large amounts of onions.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after the meal and avoid eating the paratha on an empty stomach.
