English Akki Rotti (1 Piece)

Reduce the rice-flour portion and make a thinner, smaller rotti; avoid having seconds.

Eat the rotti with a protein-rich side such as eggs, paneer, tofu, or unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Add plenty of non-starchy vegetables to the dough or as a side, such as onion, spinach, cabbage, capsicum, cucumber, or tomato.

Include a small serving of lentils or chickpeas alongside the meal instead of another starch-based side dish.

Avoid sweet drinks, fruit juice, jaggery, sugar, and sugary chutneys with the rotti; choose water, unsweetened tea, or buttermilk instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, and check your glucose response to identify a portion size that works for you.
