Dosa chatni (1 piece)

Reduce the dosa portion and avoid having multiple dosas in one sitting; start with one small or medium dosa and reassess hunger after 15–20 minutes.

Choose a higher-fiber dosa batter, such as one made with more urad dal and vegetables, or a mixed lentil dosa; avoid adding sugar, potato filling, or refined-rice-heavy batter.

Eat protein and non-starchy vegetables first, such as plain curd, paneer, egg, tofu, cucumber, tomato, or a vegetable salad, before the dosa.

Prefer coconut, mint, coriander, or peanut chutney without added sugar; limit sweet chutneys and keep chutney portions moderate.

Pair the meal with sambar containing plenty of non-starchy vegetables and dal, rather than extra dosa or rice-based sides.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, and avoid lying down or prolonged sitting immediately after the meal.
