English Dal Dhokli (1 Serving (150g))

Reduce the dhokli portion and increase the dal-to-dhokli ratio, using extra lentils and non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, zucchini, or cauliflower.

Make dhokli with chickpea flour or barley flour instead of refined flour, and keep the pieces small.

Add a protein side such as plain Greek yogurt, paneer, eggs, tofu, or grilled chicken; avoid sweetened yogurt.

Include a small serving of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, or flaxseed, with the meal.

Avoid sugary drinks, desserts, and large portions of rice or bread alongside dal dhokli; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help blunt the post-meal rise.
