Peanuts (100 G) and Dosa (1 Piece)

Reduce the dosa portion (for example, 1 small dosa instead of several) and avoid eating it on an empty stomach.

Choose a dosa made with more lentils and fiber, such as moong-dal or mixed-lentil dosa, rather than a large plain rice-heavy dosa.

Add a non-starchy vegetable side such as sambar with extra vegetables, spinach, okra, or cucumber salad; keep added potatoes minimal.

Include a protein-rich accompaniment such as eggs, plain unsweetened yogurt, paneer, tofu, or fish to slow absorption.

Keep peanuts to a small measured handful and choose dry-roasted, unsweetened peanuts rather than peanut chutney with added sugar or large amounts of oil.

Avoid sweet drinks, fruit juice, sugary chutneys, and desserts with the meal; take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating if safe for you.
