How to consume english medu vada, masala dosa, sambar without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, or paneer to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes. You can also add chia seeds or flaxseeds to your meal.

Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts (like almonds or walnuts), or a drizzle of olive oil to your dishes.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the medu vada and masala dosa. Smaller portions will result in a smaller glucose increase.

Vegetable Sides

Add non-starchy vegetables like steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans to your meal to increase fiber and nutrient intake.

Slow Eating

Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. This can help with better digestion and slower glucose absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal as this can help regulate your blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light walk or some form of mild physical activity after your meal to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.

Limit Sweet Chutneys

If using chutneys, opt for those made with ingredients like mint or coriander, and avoid those made with high-sugar fruits.

Use Whole Ingredients

When possible, prepare the dishes using whole grains and lentils, such as using whole wheat flour for the dosa batter or adding extra lentils to your sambar.
