How to consume Dosa Batter, Sambar without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the dosa and sambar you consume. Smaller portions can help in managing the blood sugar response.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your meal with fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or leafy greens which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Protein Addition

Add a source of protein, such as a side of dal or some grilled tofu, to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of seeds (flaxseeds or chia seeds) which can slow digestion and provide a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help modulate glucose response.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Grains

If making dosa batter at home, consider using whole grains or a mix of millet and lentils to make the batter to lower the spike.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, savoring each bite, which can help in better digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Add a Side Salad

Incorporate a salad with leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and a light vinaigrette to add volume and nutrients without increasing blood sugar.

Opt for Less Starchy Variants

If possible, choose a dosa made with less starchy ingredients like lentils or chickpea flour.
