Dosa (1 Piece) and Fried Whole Wheat Puri or Poori Bread (Indian Puffed Bread) (1 Puri (Approx 4 4/5 Inches Dia))

Reduce the portion: have one small dosa or one small puri rather than multiple pieces, and avoid second servings.

Eat a protein-and-vegetable starter first, such as eggs, tofu, paneer, or a salad of cucumber, tomato, and leafy greens.

Choose sambar with extra vegetables and lentils, and use it generously instead of potato masala or sweet chutneys.

For dosa, prefer a thinner, smaller portion and avoid adding potato filling; pair it with unsweetened yogurt or coconut chutney.

For puri, limit fried bread to an occasional small serving and avoid pairing it with potato curry, sweet lassi, juice, or dessert.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after the meal, and avoid sitting continuously for the next hour or two.
