English Kala Chana (1 Serving (110g)) and Mixed Salad Greens (1 Cup, Shredded Or Chopped)

Reduce the kala chana portion and increase the volume of non-starchy salad greens, cucumber, tomato, and lemon dressing.

Pair the meal with protein such as eggs, tofu, paneer, fish, or unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Add a small serving of healthy fat, such as almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseed, avocado, or olive oil, rather than eating the chana alone.

Soak the kala chana overnight, cook until tender, and avoid adding potatoes, sweet sauces, or refined-grain sides to the meal.

Use vinegar or lemon juice in the salad dressing; having the acidic dressing with the meal may blunt the rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating and avoid sitting continuously after the meal.
