Pav Bhaji (1 Serving (150g)) and Dosa (1 Piece)

Reduce the portion: have one small dosa or a smaller serving of pav bhaji, and avoid adding extra pav, butter, or potato-heavy bhaji.

Choose a moong dal, mixed-lentil, or vegetable dosa instead of a plain rice-heavy dosa; add non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, cabbage, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

For pav bhaji, replace some or all of the pav with a large side salad or sautéed non-starchy vegetables; if having bread, limit it to one small whole-grain pav.

Start the meal with protein and fibre: paneer, tofu, eggs, unsweetened Greek yogurt, or a bowl of sprouts alongside cucumber, tomato, and leafy greens.

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

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
