English Indian Gajar Halwa Pudding (1 Serving (200g))

Keep the gajar halwa portion small, and avoid seconds; serve it in a small bowl rather than as a large dessert portion.

Have it after a balanced meal containing protein and non-starchy vegetables, rather than on an empty stomach.

Choose a version made with less added sugar and more grated carrot, and avoid sweetened condensed milk or sugar syrup.

Add unsweetened nuts such as almonds, pistachios, or walnuts for fat, protein, and fiber; skip raisins and other dried fruit toppings.

Use plain Greek yogurt or unsweetened curd alongside a small serving to help make the dessert more filling.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating the dessert.
