Indian Paneer Cheese (1 Serving (30g)) and English Moong Dal Chilla (1 Piece)

Keep the chilla portion smaller, such as one medium chilla, and add extra paneer or vegetables rather than a second chilla.

Mix grated zucchini, spinach, methi, mushrooms, or bell peppers into the moong batter to increase fibre and lower the carbohydrate density of each serving.

Use a generous filling of plain paneer and cook with minimal oil; avoid pairing the meal with bread, rice, potatoes, sweet chutneys, or sugary drinks.

Choose mint-coriander chutney without sugar, or serve with unsweetened plain yogurt, instead of sweet tamarind or date-based chutneys.

Eat the paneer and vegetable portion first, then have the chilla slowly; this may soften the post-meal rise.

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