English Indian Samosa Chaat (100 G)

Have a smaller serving—such as one samosa instead of two—and ask for extra chickpeas, onions, cucumber, tomato, and coriander rather than extra potato or sweet chutney.

Choose plain yogurt or unsweetened Greek yogurt as the topping; skip sweetened yogurt and keep tamarind/date chutney to a small amount.

Add a protein side such as paneer, boiled eggs, or grilled chicken before or alongside the chaat to slow absorption.

Avoid pairing the chaat with sweet drinks, juice, soda, or dessert; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

Eat the chaat after a meal that includes non-starchy vegetables and protein, rather than when very hungry or on an empty stomach.

Take a brisk 10–20 minute walk soon after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
