English Indian Sooji Halwa (1 Serving (200g))

Reduce the halwa portion (for example, half your usual serving) and avoid seconds; use a smaller bowl to make the portion feel satisfying.

Eat halwa only after a balanced meal containing protein and fiber, such as eggs with non-starchy vegetables or a lentil-based dish, rather than on an empty stomach.

Pair a small serving with plain unsweetened Greek yogurt, nuts, or seeds; avoid pairing it with sweet drinks, juice, or other desserts.

Modify the recipe: use less sugar and ghee, add ground almonds or chia seeds, and include a little extra water or milk for volume rather than increasing sooji or sugar.

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

Keep halwa as an occasional treat and check your own glucose response at the times recommended by your clinician to identify a portion that works better for you.
