How to consume english dal makhani, white rice without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of both dal makhani and white rice. Smaller portions can help moderate the glucose response.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers into your meal. These can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Opt for Brown Rice

Replace white rice with brown rice, which is a whole grain and digests more slowly, resulting in a steadier glucose response.

Include Protein

Add a protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or paneer to your meal. Protein can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado or a small serving of nuts in your meal. These can help slow digestion and glucose release.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and manage blood sugar levels.

Herbal Tea with Meals

Consider having a cup of herbal tea like chamomile or ginger tea. These can aid in digestion and help with blood sugar control.

Exercise Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk after eating, to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Balanced Meal Composition

Aim for a balanced meal with a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and fats to ensure a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Monitor Ingredients in Dal Makhani

Be mindful of the ingredients used in dal makhani; opt for recipes with minimal cream or butter to reduce the fat content, which can affect glucose metabolism.
