Fried Whole Wheat Puri or Poori Bread (Indian Puffed Bread) (1 Puri (Approx 4 4/5 Inches Dia)) and English Chana Dal (100 G)

Skip the fried puri when possible, or limit it to a small portion; avoid adding rice, potatoes, sweets, or sweet drinks to the same meal.

Keep the chana dal portion moderate and choose a thicker preparation with minimal added sugar or flour-based thickening.

Start the meal with a salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon, or add a generous serving of non-starchy vegetables such as okra, cauliflower, cabbage, or spinach.

Pair the dal with protein such as eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, paneer, or plain unsweetened yogurt to slow digestion and improve fullness.

Eat slowly and avoid having the meal when extremely hungry, which can make it easier to overeat puri and dal.

Take a brisk 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, and use your glucose readings to identify the puri and dal portions that work best for you.
