English Indian Dal Palak (100 G)

Keep the dal palak portion moderate, and avoid pairing it with large servings of rice, naan, roti, or potatoes.

Add protein such as eggs, tofu, paneer, grilled chicken, or fish to slow digestion and reduce the meal’s glucose impact.

Use a smaller amount of lentils and increase spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, cauliflower, or other non-starchy vegetables in the dish.

Choose cauliflower rice or a small serving of barley instead of white rice or naan.

Add a modest serving of healthy fat, such as avocado, olives, almonds, walnuts, or a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if this is safe and appropriate for you.
