Dg - Idlii (2 Pieces), Vada (1), One Cup Sambhar With Chutney, 1 Plate (1 serving(s))

Limit the portion to 1 idli and skip the vada; eat slowly and avoid seconds.

Start with a small serving of cucumber, tomato, or leafy-vegetable salad before the meal.

Add a protein side such as plain curd, paneer, boiled egg, or tofu to slow absorption.

Choose extra sambar with vegetables and lentils, and keep chutney portions modest—especially if it contains added sugar.

Replace the vada with a steamed moong-dal chilla or a small bowl of sprouts chaat without sweet sauces.

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