Rice Idli (Hommade) (1 Serving) and English Indian Filter Coffee (1 Coffee Cup (6 Fl Oz))

Order filter coffee without added sugar or sweetened condensed milk; use a smaller cup and drink it with a meal rather than on an empty stomach.

Replace some or all rice idlis with moong dal chilla or a besan chilla, paired with unsweetened coconut chutney and sambar.

If eating rice idli, reduce the portion and add a generous serving of sambar with non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach, okra, cabbage, or green beans.

Have a protein-rich side before the idlis, such as plain Greek yogurt, paneer, eggs, tofu, or roasted chickpeas.

Choose unsweetened coconut chutney, mint chutney, or tomato chutney instead of sweet chutneys or potato-based sides.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the meal and avoid adding biscuits, sugar, or sweet snacks with the coffee.
