Methi Paratha (1 Piece) and English Indian Paneer Bhurji (1 Cup)

Keep the paneer bhurji portion generous but limit methi paratha to one small, thin piece; avoid extra butter, ghee, or sweetened accompaniments.

Add a large side salad of cucumber, tomato, radish, lettuce, and lemon before the meal to slow absorption and improve fullness.

Prepare paneer bhurji with extra low-starch vegetables such as spinach, capsicum, mushrooms, cauliflower, or zucchini, and use minimal oil.

Consider replacing some or all of the paratha with a besan chilla containing methi, spinach, or grated zucchini.

Avoid pairing the meal with sweet chai, juice, regular soda, or dessert; choose water, unsweetened tea, or plain buttermilk instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
