Panipuri (1 Piece) and English Indian Bhelpuri (1 Serving (120g))

Choose a smaller portion and eat slowly; avoid refills of puris, sev, and puffed-rice mixtures.

Ask for extra boiled chickpeas, cucumber, onion, sprouts, and coriander, and reduce potato in both bhel puri and pani puri.

Skip or sharply limit sweet tamarind-date chutney; use mint-coriander pani, lemon, chilli, and spices instead, without added sugar.

Have a protein- and fibre-rich starter first, such as plain unsweetened yogurt, roasted chana, or a small bowl of sprouts chaat without sweet chutney.

For bhel puri, request less puffed rice and sev, with more vegetables and chickpeas; avoid adding papdi or extra puris.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal and avoid pairing it with sugary drinks, juice, or dessert.
