English Moong Dal Chilla (1 Piece) and Tea (Tea India) (1 Serving)

Add more protein and fiber to the moong dal chilla, such as paneer, tofu, egg, or low-fat Greek yogurt, and include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, capsicum, mushrooms, or zucchini.

Keep the chilla portion moderate and avoid pairing it with other starches such as bread, potatoes, rice, or sweet chutneys.

Make tea unsweetened; avoid sugar, honey, jaggery, flavored syrups, and sweet biscuits alongside it.

If milk tea raises your glucose, use a smaller amount of unsweetened milk or choose plain tea; avoid sweetened plant milks.

Have a small side salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon before or with the meal to slow the rise.

Take a relaxed 10–15 minute walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
