English Dal Makhani (100 G) and Naan (1 serving(s))

Skip the naan, or replace it with a small barley roti or a small whole-wheat roti.

Keep dal makhani to a modest portion and ask for less butter, cream, and added sugar; avoid eating it with rice or other breads in the same meal.

Start with a large salad or non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, tomatoes, spinach, cauliflower, or broccoli before the main dish.

Add a protein side such as grilled chicken, fish, eggs, paneer, or tofu, and reduce the bread portion accordingly.

Eat slowly and avoid sweet drinks, lassi, dessert, or fruit juice with the meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a brisk 10–20 minute walk after eating, if safe for you, and use your glucose readings to adjust portions next time.
