Dosa (1 Piece) and Homemade - Poori (1 pc)

Keep the dosa or poori portion smaller, and avoid having both in the same meal.

Eat a protein-rich starter such as eggs, paneer, tofu, or unsweetened Greek yogurt before the starch.

Add a large serving of non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, okra, cucumber, or salad.

Choose sambar with plenty of lentils and vegetables, and limit potato-based fillings or sweet chutneys.

Avoid sweet drinks, fruit juice, and desserts with the meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
