How to consume english besan chilla, tea without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the besan chilla and the accompanying tea. Smaller portions can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Protein

Add a side of low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese to your meal. Proteins can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, preventing spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate a small serving of nuts or seeds, like almonds or flaxseeds, which can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Choose Whole-Grain Flour

If possible, use whole-grain besan or mix besan with a small quantity of whole-wheat flour for making chillas to increase fiber content.

Incorporate Vegetables

Add more vegetables to your besan chilla batter, such as spinach, bell peppers, or grated carrots, to increase fiber and volume.

Drink Unsweetened Tea

Opt for unsweetened tea or use a natural sweetener like stevia to avoid a sugar spike from sweetened tea.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, which can help with overall blood sugar management.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as walking, after your meal to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Use Cinnamon

Sprinkle a little cinnamon in your tea or on your chilla, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to maintain a consistent meal schedule to help regulate your blood sugar levels throughout the day.
