Millet (Cooked) (100 G), English Okra (100 G) and Dal Yellow (Hommade) (1 Serving)

Reduce the cooked millet portion and increase yellow dal and English okra on the plate; keep the meal balanced with more non-starchy vegetables.

Choose a smaller serving of yellow dal prepared with minimal added starch, and avoid pairing millet with other concentrated carbohydrates such as rice, bread, potatoes, or sweets.

Add a protein-rich side such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, paneer, tofu, egg, fish, or chicken to slow digestion and blunt the rise.

Include healthy fats in modest amounts, such as avocado, nuts, seeds, or olive/mustard oil in the okra or dal.

Start the meal with a salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon/vinegar dressing, then eat the dal and okra before the millet.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating and avoid remaining seated for a long period.
