English Vada (100 G), Idli (1 Piece) and Dosa (1 Piece)

Reduce portions: choose one item (for example, 1 small dosa or 2 small idlis) rather than combining dosa, vada, and idli in the same meal.

Eat the meal with a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cucumber, tomato, cabbage, or sautéed mixed vegetables.

Add protein before or alongside the meal, such as eggs, paneer, plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, tofu, or fish.

Skip sugary chutneys, sweetened drinks, and large amounts of potato filling; choose coconut, mint, or tomato chutney without added sugar.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if safe for you.

Try a lower-refined-grain version next time, such as dosa or idli made with more lentils and added vegetables, and keep the serving small.
